DECATUR – Motorists who have been unable to visit a driver services facility to renew their driver’s license and purchase vehicle stickers will be able to attend a free mobile unit event in Decatur, sponsored by State Senator Doris Turner in partnership with the Secretary of State’s Office.

The free event will be available to drivers Tuesday, July 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Turner’s Decatur office located at 1210 S. Jasper St.

“The Secretary of State’s mobile unit is a one-stop shop to help people utilize these important state services,” said Turner (D-Springfield). “I encourage folks to take advantage of this convenient way to renew driver’s licenses or vehicle registration next month.”

The unit operates like a DMV office and offers driver’s license renewals, identification cards and license plate stickers.

Turner reminds residents that REAL ID services will not be available at the mobile unit. The deadline to obtain a REAL ID has been extended to May 3, 2023.

In addition, Turner invites local veterans to utilize this event to add a veteran designation to their driver’s license or state ID. For veteran designation, residents must bring their DD-214 or NAF 13038. For more information about veteran ID services, residents can call the Illinois Department of Veterans’ Affairs at 1-800-437-9824.

With questions or for additional information, residents are encouraged to contact Turner’s Springfield office at 217-854-4502.
