Secretary of State DMV offices will begin reopening on June 1, and through July 31 will ONLY provide services for new drivers, those with expired driver’s licenses or ID cards, and vehicle transactions. Currently, there are more than 700,000 expired driver’s licenses/ID cards and 1.9 million expired vehicle registrations.
“These expired items will remain valid until 90 days beyond the date when Governor Pritzker’s stay home expires, so there is no need for everyone to rush to their DMV right when they reopen,” said Grant. “There’s time to spread things out so lines are not too long.”
The reopening dates and locations for Driver Services facilities statewide are as follows:
June 1 – Monday through Saturday facilities (Chicago North, Chicago South and Chicago West) will open Monday, June 1. Expanded hours of operations are Monday 7:30 to 2 p.m., Tuesday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
