Drivers who used the Secretary of State’s Orland Park office have a new place to go: an 8,700-square-foot DMV+ facility at 9291 W. 159th St. in Orland Hills.
Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias and other officials cut the ribbon on the building Nov. 9.
“This is a facility that is bigger, more modern and offers more services than the former location,” Giannoulias said at the ceremony. “We’re not simply opening another traditional DMV.
“This is the first DMV+ in the Southland. We are bringing services from multiple Secretary of State departments together under one roof.”
The move ends a stretch in temporary quarters that began in May 2025. That month, Orland Township terminated the lease that let the Secretary of State use its building at 14807 S. Ravinia Ave. in Orland Park. The office moved to Communities Transform Futures in Orland Park as a stopgap.
The “plus” in the name marks the facility as a one-stop destination for area drivers. New services include business services, index services, administrative hearings and personnel services. Some of those were previously offered only in Chicago and Springfield.
The office also handles driver’s licenses, IDs and REAL IDs, driving tests, sticker and plate purchases and title work.
“This is more than a new facility,” state Sen. Michael Hastings (D-19th) said. “I grew up six blocks down the road here and when I turned 17 and I needed a driver’s license, we had to go all the way to Midlothian.
“But a new generation of South Suburban resident can come here to Orland Hills to take care of their business without that long trip.”
In 2025, the Orland Park DMV processed more than 113,000 driver and vehicle transactions, ranking 23rd of 121 facilities in the state by volume, officials said.
The facility is appointment only. Hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
