If you signed up for Riverside’s first Mobile DMV date on Wednesday, June 26, but didn’t make it before registration filled up, you may have already secured yourself a spot for the village’s second date later this year.
Village President Douglas Pollock announced the second Mobile DMV’s December 4 date at the village board’s June 20 meeting. Representatives from the Illinois Secretary of State’s office will be there to help residents will renewing vehicle stickers, applying for or renewing driver’s licenses or other state IDs, upgrading them to Real IDs, registering to vote and registering to be an organ donor.
Pollock said the village reached out to the Secretary of State’s office to schedule a second date after officials saw the popularity of the first one.
“We were pretty much full within two or three days of announcement, which is exciting and shows what a good service this is for our residents,” he said of the first date.
But unlike the first event, Riverside residents won’t have the opportunity to sign up for the second Mobile DMV, Pollock said — because they’ve already filled all the spots.
“Before we could announce the date, the waitlist from 6/26 filled the second event’s registration, so if you’re not already registered, we’ll try again next year,” he said.
The first Mobile DMV, which will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday at the Quincy Community Center, will be the first one to visit Riverside in the village’s history. The event is a collaboration with Illinois State Senator Mike Porfirio, whose district includes Riverside.
Residents can find a list of accepted documents for either Mobile DMV event on the Illinois Secretary of State’s website. Anyone with questions about either event should reach out to Village Clerk Ethan Sowl at esowl@riverside.il.us.
