Illinois DMVs will reopen beginning June 1, according to a plan announced by Secretary of State Jesse White.

During the first two months of operation, through July 31, the state's drivers services facilities will focus on serving only new drivers, those with expired licenses or ID cards, and vehicle transactions.

White said there are more than 700,000 expired driver’s licenses/ID cards in Illinois and 1.9 million expired vehicle registrations.

"All expiration dates for driver's licenses, ID cards and vehicle registrations have been extended at least 90 days after the governor's June 1 disaster proclamation executive order ends," White said.

All Secretary of State departments and offices will reopen for business on June 1, but driver services facilities will have varying dates and times and some will even have extended hours.
