Restricted Driving Permits
If your license is suspended or revoked by the Secretary of State’s office, you may be eligible for a Restricted Driving Permit (RDP). Under Illinois law, an RDP may be issued to drivers age 16 or older to allow limited driving privileges for employment, education or medical care. Before the Secretary of State’s office issues an RDP, it must be determined that the driver receiving the permit does not pose a threat to the safety of others on the roadway. A statutory summary suspension second offender is not eligible to apply for an RDP. Eligible applicants with prior DUI suspensions or revocations must have a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) installed in their vehicle. More information on Restricted Driving Permits is available from the Secretary of State’s Administrative Hearings Department, 210 Howlett Building, Springfield, IL 62756.
