I was there this morning to get a temporary disabled placard and received quick and friendly service. I received the placard and another question was answered as well.
I am writing this note to say that I was at the Des Plaines DMV last week to renew my drivers license. I would like to commend Supervisor "JUAN" for the best service I have ever been given at a DMV. JUAN was most pleasant, attentive, and helpful. He certainly had patience with me and guided me along with obtaining my license. I never would have gotten through the steps of achieiving my renewal to drive. I again, thank him and would hope this message lets you know he is a Valued Employee.
Last but not least his assistant "DANEEKA" was also a great help and most pleasant. They both deserve to be regonized.

this process is an absolute joke.

I am a senior citizen and could not find the Woodstock office listed on the SOS web site or any SOS location that serves zip code 60050. That web site is useless.
9/30/25 ILLINOIS DMV/ELSTON AVE.. The nicest employees ever. From the minute I walked in the door Carmen helped direct me with 2 weird TITLE & STICKER problems. Then another lady suggested I go into another section for faster service, so I did get up & got in another line, but Carmen walked by and said to go back where I was and she came back to handle my problems herself. All the employees were POLITE & VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. Their facility was VERY CLEAN too! ( As it should be CLEAN & KEPT CLEAN )
