Moving to Illinois, Driver License...?


Travel Info
For those who moved to Illinois from another state, for example, me...I'm moving to Illinois from Florida.

To change my driver license to Illinois...are new residents required to take the written exam or driving exam or...BOTH?

Also, how long do I have to live in Illinois to qualify as resident of Illinois?

Travel Tips
When I moved there from TN I just had to take the written exam.

I will be working in/moving to Illinois. How do I obtain a driver's license?
Drivers moving to Illinois may use their valid driver's license from their home state or country for 90 days. You may obtain an Illinois driver's license or identification card only if you are becoming a legal resident of Illinois. If you have a valid driver's license from another state or country, you may use it to drive in Illinois throughout your stay (if you do not plan to become a permanent resident of this state). Illinois does not recognize the international driver's license.

To receive an Illinois driver's license or ID card, you must provide acceptable identification to prove name, date of birth, Illinois residency, Social Security Number and your signature for comparison.

To obtain an Illinois driver's license, you must successfully complete a vision screening, written examination and possibly a driving examination, and pay the appropriate fee. An Illinois driver's license is valid for four years. An Illinois ID card is valid for five years.

I moved to another state for a year and moved back to my state. I have never taken a road test just the written test. If you do take a road test you have to provide valid car insurance and make sure you have all 3 mirrors.

Before going to get your Illinois ID you need 3 current papers that prove where you live in Illinois, SSN, Birth certificate.

If you are in Illinois longer than the period they give you, there will be a fine. To get your ID I think it cost between $7-10.

Good Luck and study hard!
