Only four Saturdays remain in the Illinois Secretary of State’s office’s extended summer hours for teen drivers.
The Teen Summer DMV initiative, which includes opening 12 facilities from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays through Aug. 24, caters exclusively to helping teens get their drivers licenses or permits quickly and conveniently.
Teen service hours are offered at the following locations: Addison, Aurora, Bethalto, Belvidere, Bridgeview, Chicago West, Des Plaines, Elgin, Joliet, Lake Zurich, Plano and St. Charles.
State law requires teen drivers and a parent or guardian to visit a DMV in person to complete testing and identity verification prior to receiving their first drivers license. Parents and teens can call (800) 252-8980 to schedule an appointment at any of the 12 DMV locations.
Teen drivers interested in obtaining their first license will be scheduled for 10-minute appointments if they have already completed the required behind-the-wheel driving tests through their high school or commercial driving facility.
If they need to complete a driving test at a DMV, they will be scheduled for a 30-minute appointment.
Teens who need driving permits can also schedule an appointment to take a written test.
