Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White announced that expiration dates for driver’s licenses/ID cards and license plate stickers have been extended an additional month – from Oct. 1, 2020, to Nov. 1, 2020.
This new Nov. 1 extension also includes those who have July, August and September expiration dates. As a result, expired documents will remain valid until Nov. 1 so customers do not need to rush into Driver Services facilities, especially during the current heat wave.
“Extending expiration dates until November 1 means people with an expired driver’s license, ID card or license plate sticker do not need to rush into a Driver Services facility immediately,” said White. “During this current heat wave, I would suggest residents consider delaying their visit to a facility. But if you must visit a facility, please come prepared to wait outside due to social distancing, which limits the number of people inside a facility at one time.”
White continues to urge the public to consider using online services when possible instead of visiting a facility due to heavy customer volume. Customers who can conduct business online may go to www.cyberdriveillinois.com to take advantage of online services – such as renewing license plate stickers – from the comfort of their own home. People who conduct online transactions will avoid waiting in line at a facility.
White noted that online transactions continue to flourish, with June 2020 seeing an increase of 110 percent in online license plate sticker renewals when compared to June 2019.
Month/Year Online License Plate Sticker Renewals
June 2020 447,103 (110% increase)
June 2019 212,396
Through July 31, Driver Services facilities are serving ONLY new drivers, customers with expired driver’s licenses/ID cards and vehicle transactions. Face masks are required. Customers who must visit a facility are asked to be patient due to heavy volume and prepared to wait outside in various types of weather. This is due to social distancing, which limits the number of people inside a facility at one time.
In addition, customers who must visit a facility to renew their driver’s license or ID card are encouraged to first use the preregistration application at www.cyberdriveillinois.com, which will speed up their transaction while at the facility.
Governor JB Pritzker extended the Disaster Proclamation an additional month, which in turn extended the expirations for driver’s licenses/ID cards and vehicle registration stickers an additional month to Nov. 1.

At the regular June meeting, the Moultrie County Republican Central Committee voted to slate John Fayhee as a candidate for Moultrie County Board. John will be replacing Kevin McReynolds who earlier in June filed the necessary paperwork to remove his name as a candidate for re-election.
Kevin’s term on the county board will end when the board re-organizes in December 2020 after the general election. Kevin has faithfully served the citizens of Moultrie County for several years as a county board member.
As the owner of the Sullivan Marina and Campgrounds and The Northend Pub and Grill, John will bring a valuable perspective to the county board. Both of these businesses are located in an unincorporated area of the County. He sees first hand the need to work diligently to improve economic development in all areas of the county. He has worked closely with both state and federal organizations to improve the County’s competitiveness.
Being both a social and fiscal conservative, John sees the need for the County to adopt a common sense budget that provides for the funding of necessary services for all citizens of the county from a variety of sources.
John joins incumbents Neil Bryan and Elizabeth Houser as well as newcomer Larry Baker as the slate of four Republican candidates for Moultrie County Board.
John has been a resident of Moultrie County for over twenty years and along with his wife, Kayla, are parents of three young children. He looks forward to visiting with as many county residents as possible prior to the election.
