I said 5 minutes flat; not 6, 10…90
My drivers license was due to expire tomorrow. I have been dreading a trip to the IL Secretary of State to take care of the renewal but with the deadline looming, had to bite the bullet. I went to one of the “Express” facilities - essentially a small store front in Wheaton. I discovered this little gem when I moved to Lombard in 1999 and have tried to use them for Secretary of State (I refuse to call it DMV like in California) business ever since and here’s why:
I renewed my license, took a vision test, paid the fee (cash only, which in light of George Ryan’s demise is ironic), took my photo, and left the facility inside of 5 minutes start to finish! I don’t mean 10 minutes or even 6 minutes - it was under 5 minutes flat. There were more employees than customers as per usual for this facility, and it was bing-bam-boom and I’m on my way! Gotta love it…
