Taylorville DMV closed during ‘One-Stop-Shop’ renovations

TAYLORVILLE, Ill. (WCIA) — Taylorville’s DMV facility is going to be closed for the next week while it undergoes renovation.

The office of Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias said the DMV is going to be renovated into a “One-Stop-Shop” design, which will combine both vehicle and drivers’ services at a single service counter. The renovation will also include updated signage to create a more logical flow and help customers know where to go.

The goal is to reduce wait times and increase efficiency.

“Since taking office, we’ve made it a top priority to provide exceptional customer service and reduce lines and wait times,” Giannoulias said. “Our Taylorville facility will be among the first to get this makeover that will give it a modern feel while employing new technology to create efficiencies.”

The DMV facility will be closed until Aug. 29 to allow for the renovation. During that time, a temporary “pop-up” location will serve customers at 121 West Vine Street.

Drivers and vehicles’ services employees at One-Stop-Shop DMVs are cross-trained to provide both sets of services, Giannoulias said. At a single service counter, customers can:

• Apply for a REAL ID, a new driver’s license and a new state ID card
• Renew a driver’s license, state ID or Temporary Visitor Driver’s License (TVDL)
• Register or renew their vehicle registration and btain vehicle stickers
• Order a new license plate
• Register as an organ donor
