How often must you renew your driver's license in Illinois?

In Illinois, a driver's license must be renewed every four years. This renewal period helps ensure that driver information is up-to-date and allows for the opportunity to reassess vision and other necessary capabilities to maintain safe driving standards. The four-year renewal cycle also helps the Illinois Secretary of State keep accurate records and efficiently manage licensing procedures.

Other options such as two, three, or five years do not align with the state's regulations regarding driver’s license validity. These shorter or longer intervals could complicate the management of driver records and ensure that essential safety checks are performed at appropriate intervals.
