Several times throughout the year, the Illinois Secretary of State Mobile Services sets up shop on campus to make certain services more accessible to students.

The mobile services will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. today in the Bridge Lounge of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union

“This is a way for the Secretary of State office to deliver services on college campuses and is a nice opportunity for students who take advantage of it,” said Mark Hudson, the director of Housing and Dining Services.

One of the services available is to renew, replace, or correct a driver’s license or state ID card.

“Last year I had to renew my (driver’s) license and it was very convenient to get it done on campus,” Hudson said.

According to state law, driver’s license renewals can be done up to a year in advance of the scheduled renewal date.

Also among the provided services is the opportunity to obtain a vehicle title and registration.

License plate services will also be available.

There will be opportunities for collegiate license plates along with passenger and B-truck license plates.

Vehicle stickers will also be for sale.

The mobile service also provides the opportunity for registration as an organ or tissue donor and will have parking placards for persons with disabilities.

In order to receive a renewed or corrected driver’s license or state ID, proper identification is required.
