Senate Bill 957, allowing undocumented residents living in Illinois to obtain temporary visitor driver\u2019s licenses (TVDLs), became the law on December 3, 2013. When driving with a TVDL, it’s important to have auto insurance<\/a> to protect yourself and others in case of an accident.<\/p>\n

A pilot program will begin at four state driver services facilities<\/a> with a scheduled expansion at 21 other locations in January 2014. The licenses may be used only for driving and are not considered valid forms of identification for activities such as entering a federal building, voting, buying a firearm, or boarding a plane.<\/p>\n

Unlike a standard driver\u2019s license, which has a red stripe across the top and may be renewed every four years, the temporary visitor licenses have a purple stripe. The license is valid for a maximum of three years; no renewal options are allowed. Holders must reapply as a new applicant after three years, presenting all required documents for verification.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
