October 15, 2020 – Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White has announced a new email service that is available to members of the public seeking information on reinstating driving privileges, scheduling an administrative hearing, or obtaining driving relief. Residents with a suspended or revoked license can now send an email to adminhearings@ilsos.gov.
“We are providing this service to accommodate the public and help them obtain administrative hearing services and avoid lines at Driver Services facilities,” said Secretary White. “We are maintaining the same high standards for reinstating driving privileges. This is an example of using technology to allow people to access services from home. People will no longer need to go to a facility to see an informal hearing officer for this type of information, meaning fewer people in facilities and shorter lines for those who require a facility visit.”
After an email has been received by the office, a response will be sent within three days. The response will include whether a hearing will be necessary, the type of hearing needed and the documents that may be required if a hearing is granted. Administrative hearings will still be required to be held in person. For more information on the new service, go to www.dyberdriveillinois.com
