Above / An Illinois Driver’s License or ID card begins at the Department of Motor Vehicles, but as of this month will arrive by mail within 15 days. In Naperville, the DMV is located at 931 W 75th Street, #161, in Hobson West.
In his weekly newsletter, State Senator Mike Connelly (21st District) has issued the following timely information that helps set the record straight regarding changes in the process to obtain, renew and distribute an Illinois Driver’s License or ID card.
From Senator Mike Connelly…
Beginning this May, the Secretary of State’s office began implementing a new process for distributing Illinois driver’s licenses and ID cards.
Under this new practice, called “Central Issuance,” Driver Services facilities will no longer be issuing a permanent driver’s license or ID card onsite.
Instead, an applicantÂ’s information will be sent away for fraud checks, and Driver Services facilities will issue the applicant a temporary, paper copy of their driver’s license or ID card, which is valid for 45 days.
After fraud checks have been conducted, a permanent, more secure and newly redesigned license or ID card will be issued and mailed to the recipient within 15 days.
The new license or ID card has upgraded security features to help better protect against fraud and identity theft.
Residents with valid drivers license
Residents with a valid driverÂ’s license or ID card are NOT required to obtain a new, redesigned card until their current card expires. License and card fees will NOT be affected by the redesigns.
For more information on these changes, check out this brochure provided by the Secretary of State’s office, visit cyberdriveillinois.com, or call the Secretary of State’s office at 217-782-7044.
Senator Connelly’s District Office is located at 1725 S. Naperville Road, Suite 200, Wheaton, IL 60189.
