HOW CAN I FIND MY DRIVER’S ABSTRACT OR DRIVING RECORD FOR COURT?

 

               Whether you are a CDL driver or have just a regular driver’s license there can be significant consequences of a D.U.I. arrest or even being convicted of petty or misdemeanor traffic violations.

In either case, it is important to know what your official driving record looks like.  This is what is referred to as a “Court Purposes Abstract”.   These documents are not easily deciphered at first glance. You may need assistance to understand, if so we are here to help.

At the Russo Law Offices we can explain them to you and review your driving record.

If you are suspended or revoked we can help you get your full driving privileges back.

Although we can obtain an abstract for you, You may prefer to do so on your own.  You can get your driving abstract or record either by going in person to a Secretary of State facility which offers this service or from the Secretary of State website. 

If you click this link you will be directed directly to the Illinois Secretary of State website and page where you may begin the process of obtaining your abstract/record electronically with out waiting in lines or going to a facility.  https://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/drivers/drivers_license/driving_record_abstract/home.html

There is a nominal cost either way but online  a small processing fee is added

Once you get to this page on the Secretary of State website you will be prompted to provide your personal information to verify that you are requesting your own abstract.  The information you should have handy to fill out the form is as follows:

BE SURE YOU HAVE THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE BEFORE YOU GIVE ANY INFO ONLINE

1)      Driver License Number
