Starting in June, eight of the preceding facilities, excluding Bridgeview and Orland Park, will revert to their normal Saturday hours, 7:30 a.m. to Noon, and resume offering other services in addition to REAL ID applications.
The Secretary of State’s office will continue offering expanded service at the REAL ID Supercenter in Chicago’s Loop, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
For Illinoisans with flight plans, it is recommended they submit their REAL ID application at least 30 days prior to the flight. A temporary driver’s license or state ID will not be accepted as a REAL ID-compliant form of identification.
The office’s REAL ID portal, available at realid.ilsos.gov, makes it easy for Illinoisans to determine: 1) if they need a REAL ID; and 2) how to find a walk-in location or schedule an appointment near them.
Individuals applying for a REAL ID must do so in-person at an Illinois DMV and are
required to present:
- A U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, Naturalization Certificate, Report of Birth Abroad or a Certificate of Citizenship. If you are not a U.S. citizen, an employment authorization document, a permanent resident card or a foreign passport with an approved I-94 form is also acceptable. If you've changed your name, you'll need to provide name change documents.
- Proof of a full Social Security number (SSN). Examples include: a Social Security card, a W-2 or a pay stub with your full SSN.
- Two current residency documents that list your full name. Examples include a utility bill, rental agreement, deed/title or a bank statement.
- Proof of your signature. Examples include: a signed credit or debit card, canceled check, or current state driver’s license or state ID.
Illinois residents can go online to access an interactive checklist to make sure they have
the documents they need before heading to a DMV.
