How to get DL in IL with expired passport?

[SanjayB]

I had a conviction that I needed to have vacated and during this process, my GC and passport expired. Finally, my conviction has been vacated.

I applied to renew my expired GC last week and don’t have a biometrics date yet. However my passport also expired and my VA DL is expiring in 2 weeks. How do I get a new DL in IL? They don’t seem to accept expired passport. I made calls and no one is lifting the phone. Even I-551 stamp is made on valid passport. It is said a temporary i-94 can be issued with a photo on it and I-551 stamp on it if passport is expired but they are not giving any InfoPass appointments for people inside US.

Also, what are the steps I need to follow and their sequence?


Driver license

Vehicle registration and title

Emissions test

Auto insurance

Change of address

Please advise.

Thanks much!
