You'll have ten (10) days to notify the Illinois Secretary of State of your new address. It's very important that you make this change for a couple of reasons. First, it's against the law (Sec. 3-416, 6-116 and 6-511) to drive with an old address on your license. Secondly, you won't receive important notices such as renewal information that it usually mailed to you as a reminder. You may go about updating your address in a couple of different manners.
