Illinois Drivers License, ID Card Will Expire Soon
Local
Illinoisans who have yet to renew their driver's license or ID card must do so soon, as Dec. 1 marks the extension deadline. The deadline does not apply to commercial driver's licenses or CDL learner's permits.
If possible, the Secretary of State's office encourages people to complete the renewal process online, although drivers can opt to complete it in-person at a facility. Drivers can walk in or make an appointment at one of 30 Illinois Driver Services Facilities.
