What happens if I drive without a license in Illinois?
I've let my license expire. What are the penalties if I get pulled over?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Under
Illinois
law, you may face a maximum penalty of 180 days in jail and a $1,500.00 fine for driving without a valid driver's license
if the offense is charged as a Class B misdemeanor. You could also face a two-month license suspension for your first conviction.
If you want to drive legally in the state, you’ll need a valid license along with
car insurance
that meets Illinois' minimum car insurance requirements
