Temporary Visitor Driver’s License
Steps 1:
 Request a Temporary Visitor Driver’s License letter of support from OIP.
 Take OIP letter (along with passport, I-94 card, current Form I-20 and proof of local address) to a Social
Security Administration field office to obtain an application for a Social Security Number/Form L-676
(Letter of Ineligibility for a Social Security Number). As you fill out the application, tell the officer you
only need the Form L-676 Letter of Ineligibility so you can apply for a Driver’s License. You should do
this no more than 30 days before you apply for the Driver’s License.
*OIP recommends you go to the SSA office located on the south side of the Loop, at 77 W. Jackson
Blvd. This can be reached by taking the red line ‘El’ to Jackson.
Step 2:
 Go to an Illinois Secretary of State Driver Services Facility. There are two locations in Chicago and five
others throughout Illinois:
o Chicago West Facility at 5301 W. Lexington St (only open Tues-Friday, 8-5:30)
o Chicago North Facility at 5401 N. Elston Ave
o Also in Bloomington, Carbondale, Champaign, Rockford & Springfield.
 Be sure to have the appropriate documentation, including:
o Proof of automobile insurance
o Acceptable identification documents as noted per Illinois Administrative Rules (see next page)
Step 3:
 Take the Driver Services standard written, vision and driving exams. (Individuals applying for a
Learner’s Permit need only take the written & vision exams. The Learner’s Permit restricts an
individual to vehicle operation only when accompanied by an Illinois licensed driver 21 years or older.)
 Upon successful completion of the application process and the written, vision and road tests, a
Temporary Visitor Driver’s License will be issued.
 Enjoy responsibly the privilege of possessing the Illinois Temporary Visitors Driver’s License.
