Illinois Launches 24/7 Drive-Through DMV Kiosks in Springfield

Illinois has introduced 24/7 drive-through DMV kiosks at the Secretary of State's Springfield Flagship Center, providing residents in Central Illinois with unprecedented convenience for renewing driver's licenses, state IDs, and vehicle registrations without leaving their cars. These "Fast-Lane" kiosks, located on the north side of the center at 2701 S. Dirksen Parkway, allow for immediate printing of license plate stickers and issuance of temporary documents while new cards are mailed within 15 business days. Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias emphasized that the kiosks represent a major modernization effort, making essential services more accessible and cost-effective, especially for those without online access or with restrictive schedules. Although renewals can be completed at the kiosks, new applicants, including those seeking REAL IDs, must still visit the DMV in person for identity verification. The Springfield Flagship Center will continue to offer walk-in and appointment services during regular business hours from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Renewal notices include a unique bar code and PIN required for kiosk use, ensuring a streamlined renewal process.
