Illinois Driver Services Facilities close early due to winter storm

CHICAGO (CBS) -- If you were planning head out to renew your driver's license or get a license plate sticker on Thursday, you'll have to wait until next week.

Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White is closing all Driver Services facilities early due to the incoming winter storm. All Driver Services facilities will close at 1 p.m. on Thursday, and will remain closed until Tuesday.

"I encourage motorists to abide by law enforcement warnings to stay of the roads during hazardous, blizzard-like winter conditions," said White.   

While Driver Services facilities are closed, drivers can still visit the Secretary of State website at ilsos.gov for various services online; including driver's license and ID card renewals for those who qualify, obtaining a duplicate driver's license or ID card, ordering a driver record, and purchasing license plate stickers.
