Sweeping changes begin Friday, September 1, at most Illinois DMVs requiring appointments for driver’s license, ID card and REAL ID services, plus driving tests.

Customers with vehicle-related needs such as annual stickers, license plates and titles — that typically take less time to process — can still walk in.

Individuals can make an appointment online at ilsos.gov or call (844) 817-4649.

Instead of operating from Tuesday to Saturday, facilities will be open 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Sixteen DMVs will serve customers from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays. Those include two Chicago locations and Deerfield, Lombard, Midlothian, Naperville, Schaumburg and West Chicago (for commercial drivers).
