So You Moved to a New Digs... Did You Bring Your Driver's License?
Let's face it, moving is a whirlwind. Between packing like a Tetris master and dodging rogue boxes with questionable contents (seriously, who keeps old VHS tapes?), it's easy to forget the little things. Like, you know, updating your address on your driver's license. But hey, no worries! We've all been there (except maybe for that guy who lives in his mom's basement and hasn't budged in a decade. But that's a story for another time).

The Big Question: How Much Does This Address Change Cost?
Alright, alright, enough with the suspense. You want to know how much it'll set you back to update your address on your Illinois license. Buckle up, because the answer is... it depends.
For the Average Joe (or Jane): If you're a regular driver with a non-commercial license, then you're looking at a fee of $30. Not too shabby, considering the cost of replacing all those takeout containers you accidentally threw away thinking they were empty (spoiler alert: they weren't).
The Young Guns and Senior Squad: Now, for those under 21 or over 68, you get a bit of a break. The fee drops to a more wallet-friendly amount (but we can't tell you exactly how much. Sorry, gotta keep some surprises in life).
The Big Rig Drivers: If you're a trucker or operator of other commercial vehicles, then listen up. Get ready to pay a $60 fee. Owning a big rig comes with great responsibility, and apparently, slightly pricier address changes.
Important Note: This doesn't include any potential postage costs if you're opting for the mail-in method. So, factor that in if you're planning on becoming pen pals with your local DMV office.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Adulting Never Stops)
Just a heads up, while you're at it, you'll probably also want to update your address for your vehicle registration. They're like BFFs, and they both need to know where you're parked these days.
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Pro Tip: While you can't update your driver's license address online (yet, those tech wizards are working on it!), you can actually change your vehicle registration address online. Save yourself a trip and some time!
