Registration & Licensing Requirements
Illinois State law requires you to have sufficient liability insurance and a valid driver’s license in order to operate a vehicle. The term “vehicle” generally includes automobiles, motorcycles, vans, trailers and boats regularly parked or garaged overnight. Further, your vehicle must be properly registered. Even though you are in the Military, you may be required to register your vehicle in-state and obtain an in-state license within a few months of moving. Access complete information on insurance, driver’s licensing, and where and how to register your vehicle by visiting the State Department of Motor Vehicles. The local Drivers' License Services is at 400 W. Main Street, Belleville, IL 62221, 618-236-8750.
The Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles mobile unit visits Scott AFB the third Wednesday of each month, 0900 - 1500, at the Scott Club. This DMV mobile unit offers basic vehicle services such as driver license renewals (including road tests), ID cards and vehicle registration.
