15 provisions identified: 9 benefits, 3 costs, 3 mixed.
As a public official, you can file one request with the Secretary of State to keep your personal info private. Agencies and companies that get the quarterly list must treat it as your request. If you are a candidate, after the objection period ends, election officials must redact your home address within 5 business days. The Board must also hide committee officers’ home addresses when the supported candidate or chair asks using the Board’s form.
Government agencies must remove your personal information within 5 business days after your written request. Private sites must remove it within 72 hours and cannot repost or transfer it. Selling or trading your data online with intent to threaten is banned. Posting that leads to injury or death is a Class 3 felony. Agencies must redact protected info from FOIA releases, and employees who follow the Act in good faith are not in violation.
An optometrist may verify a visual disability for a disability ID. If you ask, the card can show your disability description and helpful medical info. If you have a sincere religious objection, the Secretary may issue a disability ID without a photo. A disability ID counts as proof of disability whenever state law asks for documentation. The Secretary is not liable for actions taken based on medical info printed on the card.
To get a REAL ID‑compliant card, you must show proof of lawful U.S. status under 6 CFR 37.3. If you lack a Social Security number or DHS papers, the Secretary may accept a valid passport or consular ID for a standard state ID. Those documents must be unexpired or shown within two years after they expire.
You may add a mobile ID if you already have a physical card, and it must match state records. Relying parties must verify it using AAMVA standards and ask only the data needed. The app install fee cannot exceed $6 per installation. If you add a mobile ID, you must still carry your physical card where an ID is required, and no one can force you to hand over your phone. Showing a mobile ID is not consent to search your device, and officers must return it after checking identity; they are immune for damage unless they act with willful and wanton misconduct.
If you are under 18, your license is not valid during these hours unless an exception applies: Fri 11 p.m.–Sat 6 a.m.; Sat 11 p.m.–Sun 6 a.m.; Sun–Thu 10 p.m.–6 a.m. Exceptions include being with a parent, parent‑directed errands with no detour, interstate travel, going to or from work or supervised activities, emergencies, free speech activities, or if married or emancipated. A 17‑year‑old licensed at least 12 months may drive as an assigned Safe Rides driver in an approved insured program. If you were convicted of certain offenses in the six months before turning 18, the curfew continues until six clean months pass. Under‑21 IDs also look different and show the dates you turn 18 and 21.
Political committees may pay for your personal security services, home security upgrades, and cybersecurity when needed because of your duties. Usual limits on improper spending still apply.
When the new digital ID system is in place, applicants may choose male, female, or non‑binary on forms. The sex you choose appears on the new credential.
Illinois residents age 60 or older can get a Senior Citizen discount card at no charge. Cards are available at county sites like nutrition sites and senior centers.
Judges, public officials, and peace officers may list a work or office address on an Illinois ID instead of a home address. The Secretary of State may set rules for this option.
If you were honorably discharged, you can request the word “veteran” on your ID. You may provide DD‑214 or other VA papers, and your status will be checked; if not confirmed, you must confirm it or the card can be canceled. Gold Star Family members may request a designation on IDs; the Secretary may waive the fee, and any fee goes to the Illinois Veterans Assistance Fund.
Until the state creates a donor registry, your driver’s license includes a form on the back to make an organ or tissue gift. The Secretary tells applicants about the form and may provide witnesses.
If you are male and age 18 to under 26 and apply for a permit or license, you must be registered with Selective Service. By signing, you consent to send your personal info to the Selective Service System or state you already registered.
If you use a mark instead of a signature on your ID, two witnesses must watch and attest the mark. This adds a step for applicants who do not sign.
Official ID cards cannot show job titles, hobbies, affiliations, or other personal labels unrelated to the ID’s purpose. State IDs stay focused on identity, not extra characteristics.
