Illinois Adult Driver Ed FAQs

All 18, 19, 20-year-olds are required to complete a six-hour adult driver education course before obtaining an Illinois driver’s license, if the person has not previously held a driver’s license or successfully completed the classroom portion of a traditional driver education course.

To be eligible for in-car training, students must be at least 18 years old and have a valid Illinois Instruction Permit, Illinois Driver’s License, or a Driver’s License issued by your country of origin (International Driver’s Licenses are not accepted in Illinois).

If you do not currently have a permit, we recommend taking our 6-hour online course to prepare for the Written Permit Exam at the Illinois Secretary of State’s office. Students from out of the country may drive on their country of origin license for no more than 90 days after entering the country.

No, adults (18+) in Illinois are not required to take in-car driving lessons to get a license. While it’s highly recommended for safety and skill development, it’s not a legal mandate for licensing at that age.

To take a road test with the Illinois Secretary of State (SOS) as an adult over 18, you’ll need:
Identification: An acceptable form of identification, such as a U.S. passport, Illinois Identification Card, or credit card

  • Proof of birth: A birth certificate, U.S. passport, or Illinois Identification Card
  • Proof of Social Security number: Documentation that shows your Social Security number
  • Proof of residency: Two documents that show you are an Illinois resident, such as bank statements, utility bills, or educational transcripts
  • Proof of vehicle insurance: A liability insurance card
  • Payment: The appropriate fee for the road test, which can be paid by cash, check, credit card, or traveler’s check
  • Learner’s permit or driver’s license: A valid learner’s permit or driver’s license
