Your letter
Using an SR-22 to get your license back in Des Plaines
If you are in Des Plaines trying to get a Illinois license back, the Illinois Secretary of State often will not lift the hold until an SR-22 is on file. That certificate is one box on the notice — fees and anything the court listed still sit there. Do not drive until you know what the letter requires. Call (866) 778-1093 first. We start Illinois filings by phone. Chicago-area and downstate letters are still Illinois filings. The letter names the dates. See License reinstatement.
