Am I able to walk in for a new IL license issuance, as well as plates?

Q) Am I able to walk in for a new IL license issuance, as well as plates? I currently have both in Colorado. I assume I would need to bring something with my address printed, and I am unsure of what else is necessary. Thank you in advance.

A) Yes, you can walk in to a driver’s facility to apply for a new Illinois driver’s license and plates. You will need to bring the following items:

• Your current Colorado driver’s license
• Proof of identity (such as a passport or birth certificate)
• Proof of Illinois residency (such as a utility bill or lease agreement)
• Proof of vehicle insurance
• Proof of vehicle emissions testing (if required in your county)
• The application fee
• The vehicle registration fee
• The vehicle title fee

You can find a list of driver’s facilities and their hours of operation on the Illinois Secretary of State website.

Here are some additional tips for applying for a new Illinois driver’s license and plates:

• Arrive early to avoid long wait times.
• Be prepared to provide all of the required documents.
• Have your payment in cash or check.
• Be patient and courteous to the staff.

I hope this helps!
