Illinois brings DMV to residents via DMV on Wheels

DMV on Wheels

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Illinois will soon bring license and car registration services to residents in a traveling van.

Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias announced the Mobile DMV on Wednesday in a press release. The service will be similar to an ice cream truck. 

“Since taking office, it’s been our mission to make it easier and more convenient for Illinois residents to access government services without having to wait or travel to a DMV facility,� Giannoulias said. “Our DMV on Wheels program will build on the success of our digital programs, saving time by offering efficient ways to do things like renew your driver’s license or get a vehicle sticker without leaving their communities.�

The truck will launch in June around Chicago, but the service will become available in our region by the end of Summer.

Giannoulias says the service will benefit not only residents but government officials, too. The DMV on Wheels system eliminates the need for a brick-and-mortar building and outside internet provider. 

Those who plan to utilize the Mobile DMV services can complete the following:

  • Renew their driver’s license, state ID or Temporary Visitor Driver’s License (TVDL).
  • Renew their vehicle registration.
  • Purchase a vehicle sticker.
  • Apply for a REAL ID.
  • Apply for a replacement or corrected driver’s license or state ID.
  • Join the Illinois Organ and Tissue Donor Registry.
  • Register to vote. 

The traveling DMVs will also benefit communities should an established DMV location experience an emergency and have to temporarily close. The DMV on Wheels can take over that region in the interim and keep services flowing smoothly. 

Giannoulias' office says it will push the program via social media kits and partnerships with local organizations.
