Illinois DUI Hold on Your Out-of-State License?

The Problem

You moved out of Illinois years ago, or maybe you were just passing through when you got a DUI. Either way, Illinois has a hold on your driving record — and now your current state won't issue or renew your license until Illinois clears it.

This is more common than you might think. The Interstate Driver's License Compact means that DUI records follow you across state lines. Until you satisfy Illinois's requirements, that hold stays on your record no matter where you live.

The Solution

To clear an Illinois DUI hold, the Illinois Secretary of State requires a substance abuse evaluation from an Illinois-licensed DBHR provider. That's the catch — you can't just get an evaluation from a provider in your current state. It has to be someone licensed in Illinois.

We solve that problem. As a licensed IDHS DBHR provider, we offer virtual evaluations via secure telehealth — so you can complete your Illinois-required evaluation from home, no matter what state you're in. No flying back to Illinois. No taking time off work to travel.

How It Works

1. Call or email us — We'll discuss your specific situation, how old your case is, and what you need to get the hold cleared.
2. Gather your documents — You'll need your Illinois driving record (which you can order online) and any documents from your original case. We'll tell you exactly what's needed.
3. Complete your virtual evaluation — A one-on-one evaluation via secure telehealth, conducted using the ASAM Criteria, 4th Edition. Takes about an hour.
4. Receive your documentation — We provide all documentation required by the Illinois Secretary of State for your reinstatement petition, delivered the same day.
5. Submit to the Secretary of State — File your petition with the Illinois SOS. Once Illinois clears the hold, your current state can issue your license.
