About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the wholesale drug distributor bond covers

Illinois licenses wholesale drug distributors — including manufacturers, repackagers, own-label distributors, brokers, drug warehouses, and pharmacies that wholesale — through the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) under the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act (225 ILCS 120). Anyone distributing prescription drugs into, out of, or within the state needs a license, and each physical facility is licensed separately.

As part of that licensure, the IDFPR rules at 68 Ill. Admin. Code 1510 require each distributor to submit a bond — or equivalent security the Department approves — in the amount of $100,000. The bond stands behind the distributor's compliance with the Act and protects the state against losses, including unpaid fees, penalties, or costs tied to violations.

Because the application field is open rather than locked, you enter the amount your specific license requires — for the great majority of distributors that's the standard $100,000. If IDFPR has set a different figure for your situation, enter that. This bond is priced on review: the application collects no credit information, and an underwriter returns your price.

225 ILCS 120 + 68 Ill. Admin. Code 1510 (IDFPR)The Illinois Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act (225 ILCS 120), with implementing rules at 68 Ill. Admin. Code 1510, requires wholesale drug distributors — including manufacturers and others who wholesale prescription drugs — to be licensed by IDFPR and to submit a bond, or equivalent Department-approved security, in the amount of $100,000. Confirm the amount required for your license type on your IDFPR application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Illinois wholesale drug distributor bond?This bond is priced on review rather than a flat rate — the standard bond amount under the IDFPR rules is $100,000, and your premium is set by underwriting based on your license and file. Enter your required amount and submit to get your price.
Why does Illinois require it?Under the Wholesale Drug Distribution Licensing Act (225 ILCS 120) and the IDFPR rules at 68 Ill. Admin. Code 1510, a distributor must post a $100,000 bond (or equivalent security) as a condition of the license. It backs your compliance with the Act and protects the state against losses.
Is the amount always $100,000?For most wholesale drug distributors, yes — the rules set $100,000 as the standard. We leave the field open in case IDFPR has set a different figure for your license type; if you are unsure, use $100,000 or send us your application and we will confirm.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information. If underwriting needs a check for your file, it is a soft pull that never affects your credit score.
Can I use other security instead of a bond?The rules let IDFPR accept equivalent security it approves. A surety bond is usually the cheapest route — you pay a one-time premium rather than tying up $100,000 in cash or bank collateral.
