CHICAGO, Ill. – Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White says all Drivers License facilities in Illinois, including in Peoria, will close for two weeks starting Monday, January 3.
The reason: COVID-19. White says he’s closing the offices “out of an abundance of caution,” according to a news release, due to the rising number of COVID cases statewide, with all 102 counties now at a “high” rate of transmission.
“The health and safety of employees and the public remains paramount, and face-to-face transactions potentially increase the further spread of the virus,” said White, in a news release. “Our goal is to safely reopen all offices and Driver Services facilities on January 18 for face-to-face transactions.”
White’s office says a number of services you would normally go to an office for can still be done online through the period, including renewing license plate stickers, renewing a driver’s license or state I.D., and filing business service documents, among other things.
ITEMS THAT CAN BE DONE ONLINE AT ilsos.gov:
• Renewing a license plate sticker.
• Renewing a driver’s license or ID card for those who qualify (individuals may call 217-785-1424 to
confirm their eligibility or to obtain their PIN).
• Obtaining a duplicate driver’s license or ID card.
• Obtaining a driver record abstract.
• Filing Business Services documents, such as incorporations and annual reports
