Breaking News: Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White, announced earlier this week that his office has reinstated the mailing of vehicle registration reminders to Illinois drivers.

According to cinewsnow.com, the change for mailing of vehicle registration reminders to Illinois drivers, goes into effect immediately.

The “Land Of Lincoln” had stopped mailing the reminders in October 2015 due to the budget impasse.

The state collected more than $9.9 million in fines since then; more than double the total of a year earlier.

White is asking that everyone sign up for e-mail notices to further reduce mailing costs.

He also noted that more than 2.3 million people have registered for the email notification, 800,000 of which
signed up since October 2015.

Vehicle owners can sign up for email notifications by visiting the Secretary of State website,
www.cyberdriveillinois.com. To register for the program, vehicle owners will need their assigned registration
ID and PIN, which can be found on their current vehicle registration card. If that information is not available,
they can call the Secretary of State public inquiry division at 800-252-8980 to obtain the Registration ID and
PIN.

The one-time registration process will allow vehicle owners to receive a series of three email notices per
vehicle each year highlighting the upcoming vehicle expiration date.
