EDWARDSVILLE – The City of Edwardsville and the Illinois Secretary of State are teaming up to offer a Mobile DMV service in the City several times a year. The first Mobile DMV will be offered on Friday, February 9, 2024, at the Edwardsville Public Library, 112 S. Kansas Street. The Mobile DMV is part of an effort by the Illinois Secretary of State’s office to provide some of the basic Illinois Department of Motor Vehicle services at easily accessible community sites. It’s an additional and alternative option to visiting a traditional DMV location. “The Mobile DMV is a great way for the community to be able to conveniently access these state services,” Mayor Art Risavy said. “We are very happy to be one of the municipalities where the Illinois Secretary of State’s office will offer it.” The Mobile DMV will operate from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Edwardsville Public Library. No appointments are necessary. Services to be offered include:

SPRINGFIELD – In 2023, the Illinois State Police’s (ISP) modernization of the Divisions of Patrol, the creation of Special Operation Groups focused on criminal interdiction, and the continued implementation of a data-focused command structure led to a decrease in interstate shootings and fatal crashes.
