After more than two years of extensions enacted because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Thursday marked the day where Illinois residents will have to once again renew their driver’s licenses, leading to long lines at Secretary of State’s Offices around the state.
Licenses that expired since March 2020 had been given a grace period for individuals to take care of their renewals, but that time frame officially ended as of Thursday, leaving thousands scrambling to update their documentation.
While many residents visited offices to renew their licenses, Secretary of State-elect Alexi Giannoulias says that technology could potentially help some individuals skip the lines and to get complaint once again on their identification cards. “Eliminating the ‘time tax’ is going to be very important to us,” Giannoulias said of his new administration. “The Secretary of State did a great job extending it during COVID. There isn’t a blueprint on how to deal with COVID. No one wants to wait in line, and we want to bring technology to the forefront.”
