(CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS) – Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias is taking it to the streets. The first Mobile DMV will launch in Chicago this month and three more units will start holding events across the state later this summer. The electric-powered units are self-contained and utilize an on-board internet connection.

“Since taking office, it’s been our mission to make it easier and more convenient for Illinois residents to access government services without having to wait or travel to a DMV facility,” Giannoulias said. “Our DMV on Wheels program will build on the success of our digital programs, saving time by offering efficient ways to do things like renew your driver’s license or get a vehicle sticker without leaving their communities.”

The following are services provided by the mobile units:

Driver’s license or state ID renewal
Vehicle registration renewal
Vehicle sticker purchase
REAL ID application
Replacement or corrected driver’s license or state ID application
Illinois Organ and Tissue Donor Registration
Voter registration

In the event a brick-and-mortar location experiences an unforeseen temporary closure, the Secretary of State’s office will now be able to dispatch a Mobile DMV to the area to provide services.
