What are the requirements for obtaining a driver's license in Illinois?

Asked 6 months ago
To obtain a driver's license in Illinois, you must fulfill specific requirements. Firstly, applicants must be at least 18 years old or 16 with parental consent. You need to visit a Secretary of State Driver Services facility with proof of identification, residency, and Social Security number. Mandatory documents include a birth certificate or passport, utility bill, and Social Security card. Next, you should pass a vision screening and written exam, testing your knowledge of road signs, traffic laws, and driving safety. Upon successfully clearing these tests, you shall be issued a learner's permit. This permit requires completion of 50 hours of practice driving, including 10 hours at night, with a licensed adult. Finally, you must pass the behind-the-wheel driving test to obtain your driver's license.
