To be represented by PaintCare, manufacturers that sell or ship architectural paint products into Illinois and/or Maryland are required to register with PaintCare by the time the programs begin. A separate registration is required for each state with a PaintCare program.
The Illinois program is expected to launch December 1, 2025.
The Maryland program start date has not yet been determined and is dependent on approval from the state’s oversight agency.
How to Register
Registration is done through PaintCare’s reporting portal at www.paintcarereporting.org.
Add a State
If your company is already registered with PaintCare for another state, simply check the box(es) for Illinois and/or Maryland. The reporting functions for these states will become available one month after each program starts.
Registering for First Time
Create an online profile at www.paintcarereporting.org by entering basic contact information, selecting the type of registration (based on whether you intend to have remitter agreements with other companies regarding reporting), and signing (via a check box) the Participant Agreement.
If you have any questions about how to register or need help with our online system, please contact Taujuana Davis, Senior Program Coordinator, at or (202) 232-2733.
