Giannoulias and Champaign Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen cut the
ribbon Monday at the Champaign DMV+.
Giannoulias said the facility will be especially helpful for
driver’s license reinstatements, adoption-related documents,
certified copies of business records and international business
for foreign use certification.
“Because of the sensitive nature of these documents, digital and
online services are not possible, so an in-person visit before
today was required to be done in our offices in either downtown
Chicago or in Springfield,” Giannoulias said.
The secretary said the DMV+ utilizes a one-stop-shop design that
involves cross-training employees to accommodate customers
seeking all DMV tasks, including driver services and vehicle
services.
Feinen welcomed the renovated facility and expanded services in
Champaign.
“As an attorney who has tried to access the services that are
only in Springfield and Chicago, I’ve been one of the ones who
has dealt with the time tax of having to drive back and forth to
take care of business operations for my clients,” Feinen said.
Giannoulias was asked if expanded services were planned at DMV
locations in other cities.
“Yes, the ultimate goal is for all our major facilities to have
these. It does take work and time. Our goal is to get every DMV,
to transform them to DMV+,” Giannoulias said.
According to the Illinois Secretary of State’s website, the
Budget and Fiscal Management Department manages the Secretary of
State's annual budget of $884 million as approved by the General
Assembly.
