Illinois Secretary of State Customer FAQ

Yes, you can renew your driver's license in person at the DMV. If you have had an eye test within the past 2 weeks, you may not need to take the eye test at the DMV, but it depends on the specific circumstances and any documentation you can provide. It's best to have your eye test results with you to clarify this during your visit.

When you donate your car in Illinois, you don't necessarily put any specific buyer's information on the title release form. Instead, you simply sign the title over to the organization receiving the donation. Be sure to remove the license plates before the car is towed away. You should then notify the Illinois Secretary of State by providing information about the vehicle, the license plate number, and the date it was donated using the online notice of vehicle sale form. This will release you from future liability connected to the vehicle. Always ensure to keep documents of your donation for your records and potential tax deductions.
