Illinois Secretary of State Opens Temporary Orland Park DMV Facility Ensuring Local Access

The Village of Orland Park has opened a new temporary Secretary of State Driver's facility at 18230 Orland Parkway, following the cancellation of the previous lease by the Orland Township Board. This temporary site, secured through a one-year lease with the nonprofit CTF Illinois, will offer expanded services such as driver’s license renewals, road tests, and vehicle registration, ensuring that residents, especially seniors and vulnerable groups, maintain local access to essential DMV services. Village and state officials, including Mayor Jim Dodge and Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, emphasized the importance of keeping these services within Orland Park to avoid forcing residents to travel to other suburbs and to support local businesses benefiting from DMV traffic. CTF Illinois, which supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, stepped in quickly to provide the space for the facility. Plans are underway for a permanent Drivers Facility in Orland Park to continue providing convenient service beyond the temporary lease period. This collaboration highlights the community's commitment to accessibility and economic vitality.
