This year, I am proud to once again partner with the Secretary of State’s Office to bring Mobile DMV services back across the district. These events make it easier for residents to access essential DMV services closer to home, without the need to travel long distances. After coordinating Mobile DMV events last year and seeing the real benefits for constituents, I am pleased to expand these efforts in 2026.
This year, I will host five Mobile DMV events: three in Red Bud and two in Murphysboro. Along with my staff, representatives from the Secretary of State’s Office will be on site to assist with renewing or correcting driver’s licenses, converting standard driver’s licenses to REAL ID, obtaining first-time or renewed State IDs or REAL IDs, issuing free IDs for seniors age 65 and older, and purchasing license plate stickers.
Appointments are required. Constituents must call my office to schedule an appointment; walk-ins will not be accepted. Residents may review the list of acceptable documents needed for first-time IDs and REAL IDs at ilsos.gov. I encourage everyone to take advantage of this convenient opportunity to access DMV services close to home.
ICYMI: Beginning February 1, 2026, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will require travelers to have a REAL ID or another acceptable form of identification, such as a passport, to fly domestically. Passengers who arrive at the airport without compliant identification will be required to use TSA’s ConfirmID identity verification system and pay a $45 fee!
