How much is it to renew a driver’s license in Illinois?

Is it expensive to renew your driver’s license in Illinois? Mine is expiring soon but I’m on a tight budget right now because I just graduated college, so I’m worried that it might cost a lot.

Congratulations on graduating! It costs $30 to renew a
driver’s license

Illinois
, provided that you are between the ages of 21 and 68 and you don’t have to pay any late fees. If you’re under 21 or over 68, it will only cost $5 to renew your license—and if you’re over 81, the cost drops to $2! If you’re over 87 and still approved to drive, you can renew your license at no cost.
