To receive an Illinois driver's license you must provide a minimum of three forms of identification. You must prove name, date of birth, Illinois residence, Social Security Number, and signature for comparison. For preparation, you can pick up a copy of the Illinois "Rules of the Road" booklet at the Users Office (in English, Polish, and Spanish). Technically, if you live in Illinois for over 90 days, you must get an Illinois driver's license (as opposed to a foreign or out-of-state license).
You can obtain a driver's license at the Illinois Secretary of State office, at 339 East Indian Trail Road in Aurora (Phone # (630) 896-1911). Go south on Kirk Road and turn right onto Indian Trail Rd - the offices will be on your left. For more information or other driver service facilities: http://www.sos.state.il.us.
The state of Illinois has a mandatory insurance law that requires drivers to have liability insurance on their personal vehicles (which pays for damage that you might cause to other persons or their property). You must arrange for insurance through a private company, which satisfies the legal requirements. You can reach Geico General Insurance Company by call 1-800-841-3000 toll-free, or any number of other insurance companies by looking in the yellow pages.
