As of now, Illinois DMV locations will be open 30 minutes earlier from Monday to Saturday.
The new 7:30 a.m. starting times were announced by Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias to better align with higher customer demand in the mornings. Offices will now be open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and from 7:30 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.
Senior facilities located in Bridgeview and Calumet Park will remain 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday. Orland Township DMV hours will remain 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday.
“Since Day One, our priority has been to provide the best possible DMV experience and service to our customers,” Giannoulias said. “We listened to feedback and analyzed the data to determine when our customers need us most. As a result, we’re adjusting our hours to align our operations with their busy schedules so they can conveniently access services without disrupting their routine.”
A data-driven analysis revealed customer demand is generally higher in the morning than in the early evening. By opening facilities earlier, the office aims to enhance service accessibility while reducing wait times.
The new facility hours will be implemented at most, but not all, Illinois DMV facilities. To check facility hours, make an appointment or apply for online services, customers are encouraged to visit www.ilsos.gov
