DMV facilities closed Nov. 17-Dec. 6, due to COVID

Driver Services facilities statewide closed Tuesday and are not expected to reopen until Dec. 7, due to the worsening COVID-19 pandemic.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Jesse White is encouraging the public to take advantage of online services, which have been expanded in recent days to include driver's licenses and ID cards. Not everyone qualifies - particularly those who are required to pass a written or road test - but qualifying drivers whose driver's license or ID card expired between Feb. 1, 2020 and Jan. 31, 2021 will get a letter with a unique PIN needed to renew online.

This letter will be sent in December 2020 or January 2021.

If the driver's license or ID card expires after Feb. 1, 2021, the individual will receive the PIN letter approximately 90 days before the expiration date.

To determine if you qualify for online renewal, visit www.cyberdriveillinois.com and click on "Read more on how to renew your driver's license or ID card online" near the top of the main page.

In addition, White announced that expiration dates for driver's licenses and ID cards will be extended until June 1, 2021, including those with February, March, April and May 2021 expiration dates.

Commercial Driver's License holders and commercial learner's permit holders are excluded from this extension due to federal requirements.
