Starting Friday, Illinois residents who need to complete a process related to driver’s licenses or other documents will be able to use the Secretary of State’s new Skip-the-line system to expedite waiting times.
The Skip-the-line program will allow clients of the Secretary of State to minimize waiting times by using online services to request an appointment to obtain a driver’s license, renew it or apply for the card identification Real ID.
While thanks to this program that comes into force on September 1, other procedures can be done without making an appointment, such as the processing of the car title and the registration or renewal of the license plate decal. With this, the person can go to any office when required.
The Skip-the-line program will be available at the 44 busiest driver license offices in Illinois, including all of Chicago and surrounding areas.
To see which offices you can request appointments online to do the paperwork and their locations you can go to the following link.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE DRIVER’S LICENSE EXAM
To obtain a driver’s license for the first time, it is necessary to take a written and practical test that certifies the skills of the driver who is qualified to drive in the state of Illinois.
The theoretical exam includes 35 questions, of which 15 focus on identifying traffic signs and the remaining 20 will be multiple choice or true or false questions.
The practical test will measure how well the person is able to drive, if he is able to recognize and respect traffic rules and signs while driving.
Additionally, you will have a vision check to see if you physically meet the requirements to drive.
The Illinois Secretary of State Rules of the Road Guide explains what will be tested on the exams and what is needed to pass.
