Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias announced that Illinois residents can obtain a REAL ID or renew a Temporary Visitor Driver's License (TVDL) at the World of Wheels Show from March 3 to March 5 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.

First-time TVDL applicants and applicants for REAL ID or standard driver's licenses who must take a written or road exam are not eligible for this service because these exams are not offered at the show.

REAL ID applicants must present original documentation, including:
• Proof of identification - U.S. birth certificate or U.S. passport
• Proof of Social Security number (SSN) - Social Security card or W-2 with full SSN displayed
• Proof of residency - Two residency documents issued within the past three months, such as a bank statement, canceled check, or utility or cable bill
• Proof of written signature - Illinois driver's license or ID card, mortgage or loan document, or credit card

A complete list of acceptable documents is available at realid.ilsos.gov.

TVDL applicants who are renewing their TVDL at the show must present:
• Current TVDL
• Any name or address change documents

Other services at the booth include:
• Obtaining a standard driver's license or ID card
• Renewing a vehicle registration
• Obtaining a driving record
• Registering to vote or to become an organ and tissue donor
