Expired driver’s licenses, ID cards and license plate stickers extended an extra month until Nov. 1

Posted

SPRINGFIELD - Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced that expiration dates for driver’s licenses/ID cards and license plate stickers have been extended an additional month – from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1. This new Nov. 1 extension also includes those who have July, August and September expiration dates.

As a result, expired documents will remain valid until Nov. 1 so customers do not need to rush into driver services facilities, especially during the current heat wave. Anyone who must visit a facility should come prepared to wait outside due to social distancing, which limits the number of people allowed inside a facility at one time.” 

White urges the public to consider using online services when possible instead of visiting a facility due to heavy customer volume. Customers who can conduct business online may go to www.cyberdriveillinois.com to take advantage of online services such as renewing license plate stickers from the comfort of their own home. People who conduct online transactions avoid waiting in line at a facility.

White noted that online transactions continue to flourish, with June seeing an increase of 110 percent in online license plate sticker renewals compared to June 2019. This June, 447,103 sticker renewals were received online compared to last June’s 212,396 online renewals.

Through July 31, facilities are serving ONLY new drivers, customers with expired driver’s licenses/ID cards and vehicle transactions. Face masks are required. Customers who must visit a facility should expect heavy volume and be prepared to wait outside in various types of weather because social distancing limits the number of people inside a facility at one time.

In addition, customers who visit a facility to renew their driver’s license or ID card are encouraged to first use the pre-registration application at www.cyberdriveillinois.com, which will speed up their transaction while at the facility.

Governor JB Pritzker extended the Disaster Proclamation an additional month, which in turn extended the expirations for driver’s licenses/ID cards and vehicle registration stickers an additional month to Nov. 1.
