What Is An Illinois License Hold?
A license hold is a consequence that out-of-state drivers face when their driving privileges have been revoked in Illinois. This hold restricts your ability to obtain or renew a driver’s license in other states, including your home state.
Various offenses can lead to an Illinois revocation and corresponding license hold, including:
- Drunk driving
- Leaving the scene of an accident
- Multiple instances of reckless driving in a short period
If you discover you are subject to an Illinois driver’s license hold, I can guide you on your options.
How To Get A Hold Lifted
To lift a license hold, you must restore your driving privileges in Illinois. You need to meet certain requirements to be eligible to seek restoration. There are two methods for eligible out-of-state drivers to pursue restoration in Illinois:
- Attending an informal hearing or a formal hearing in Illinois
- Completing an out-of-state packet (this option isn’t available for all drivers)
Whichever method you use, a hearing officer will ultimately decide whether to restore your privileges and lift your driver’s license hold.
