Temporary Visitors
Driver’s Licenses
(TVDL)
What is a TVDL?
On January 27, 2013, Governor Pat
Quinn signed into law SB 957,
which allows any immigrant who
cannot get a Social Security
number to get a Temporary
Visitor’s Driver’s License (TVDL) to
drive legally.
What is a TVDL?
TVDLs are currently available to some
visa holders (visitors, students, relatives
of foreign workers) who cannot get Social
Security numbers.
SB 957 makes TVDLs available to
undocumented immigrants who also
cannot get Social Security numbers.
What is a TVDL?
TVDLs are visually
different from
regular licenses and
are “Not Valid for
Identification.”
What does “Not Valid for
Identification” mean?
A TVDL is not valid for federal identification
purposes, and such cannot be used to:
• Vote
• Buy arms
• Enter federal buildings
• Board a plane
Other institutions, such as hospitals and first
responders, can use TVDL as identification.
Why TVDLs instead of regular
licenses?
Under federal law, driving documents for
undocumented immigrants must be visually
different and must be marked as not valid for
identification.
TVDLs, which are already issued to some
people with legal status, already comply with
this law, but do not mark people as
undocumented.
Qualifications
• Must have a valid passport or consular ID
• Must have lived in Illinois at least 1 year
• Must produce any other required
documents
• Must pass vision, written, and driving
tests
• Must show proof of insurance for vehicle
• Must pay $30 fee
When will TVDLs be available?
SB 957 took effect on November 28, 2013 –
10 months after Gov. Quinn signed it.
The Secretary of State (SOS) is
implementing this law gradually, starting in
December and rolling out to 36 facilities by
January 2014.

What is the process?
• Applicants need to make appointments
by phone (855-236-1155) or online
(www.cyberdriveillinois.com).
What is the process?
• When making appointments online, be sure to
confirm the appointment (click through until you get
to the screen on the right)—otherwise you will not
have actually made an appointment.
What is the process?
• At the appointment, applicants will
provide all documents, get
photographed, and take their tests.
• SOS will not issue TVDLs on the same
day; it will review all documents and run
a facial scan of the photograph.
• If SOS approves the application, it will
send the TVDL by mail.

TVDL applicants must fill out a
“Verification of Residency” form listing
their addresses during the past 12 months.
SOS is NOT asking for names and contact
information for property owners or
managers.
What if I have a prior driving record?
• TVDL applicants need to finish serving any
suspensions for previous violations,
including driving without a license.
• Suspensions start when SOS created the
record of the violation—NOT when the
applicant applies for a TVDL. In most cases,
the suspension will already be over before
the person applies.
What if I had a DUI?
• You have to finish your suspension and pay
all your tickets associated with your arrest.
• After you have completed these steps you
will have to go to the Secretary of State to
begin the reinstallation process and then
apply for a TVDL.
What if I used a fake name or Social
Security number to get a license?
• TVDL applicants will be matched (through facial
scans) with their previous records.
• They will need to serve a twelve-month
suspension before they can get a TVDL.
• Anyone interested in a TVDL can come forward
NOW to start their 12-month suspension — BUT
be aware of possible immigration consequences
if your previous fraud is disclosed.
What if the police pull me over?
TVDLs can be used as bond in a traffic stop.
The officer should write you a ticket for your
violation and let you go without arresting you.
TVDLs are valid ONLY IF the driver has proof
of insurance for the vehicle. If you do not
prove you have insurance, you can be ticketed
for driving without a license.
Will the police know if someone
with a TVDL is undocumented?
TVDLs are available to both documented
visa holders and immigrants without visas.
The police cannot assume that you are
undocumented because you have a TVDL.

WHAT TO DO
 DO tell the police your name BUT
NOTHING ELSE
 DO tell the police you want to remain silent
and want to talk to a lawyer. They should
stop questioning you after that.
If the POLICE arrest you:
 DO ask if you can park your car in a safe
place or have a licensed driver take it away,
to avoid towing or impoundment fees.
 MEMORIZE phone numbers for three
family members or friends who you can
call.
If you feel you have been discriminated by
the Police take down the officers badge
number
WHAT NOT TO DO
 DON’T LIE. Tell the police you want to
remain silent. DON’T give
explanations, excuses, or stories.
 DON’T SIGN any document if you
don’t know what it is.
 DON’T DISCUSS your citizenship or
immigration status with anyone other
than your lawyer
 DON’T have any objects hanging
from your rearview mirror. It may
provide a pretext to pull you over
