Moylan Highlights Secretary of State Extensions amid COVID-19 Crisis

DES PLAINES, Ill. – State Rep. Marty Moylan, D-Des Plaines, is notifying residents that expiration dates for driver’s licenses and identification cards has been extended once again in light of the recent decision to temporarily close driver’s services facilities.

“Due to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases, it is in the best interest of residents to close these facilities and limit spread of the virus as best we can,” Moylan said. “The health and safety of residents has to be the number one priority, and the online services available through the Secretary of State will make sure any essential business residents may still have can still be completed.”

The Secretary of State recently announced the closure of all driver services facilities from Nov. 17 until Dec. 7. Because of these closures, expired driver’s licenses and identification cards will remain valid until June 1, 2021. Commercial driver’s license (CDL) facilities will remain open for truck drivers to adhere to the federal requirements. Many of the services offered at facilities will still be available online at www.cyberdriveillinois.com, including license plate sticker renewals, renewing a valid license for qualified drivers, renewing a valid identification card for those between the ages of 22 and 64, obtaining a driver record, filing business service documents and administrative hearings.

“The online services offered by the Secretary of State can help residents avoid any lines or long waits from the comfort and safety of their own home,” Moylan said. “The Secretary of State has done a great job in maintaining a safe environment, but with these extensions and the available online services, the right thing to do is close the facilities and minimize any risk.”
