What Is a Non-resident/Out-Of-State Hearing Packet? A non-resident/out-of-state packet includes all of the documents to be submitted to the Illinois Secretary of State by an individual residing outside of Illinois and seeking the reinstatement of driving privileges in Illinois (in lieu of an in-person hearing).

In-person formal hearings are scheduled approximately 60 days after the date of request. After a formal hearing is held, the Illinois Secretary of State has 90 days to issue a decision. Decisions often do not take the full 90 days to be issued. Drivers do not have to file a request for an informal hearing.

If your driving privileges are suspended and/or revoked, please contact an informal hearing officer for a consultation which will provide you with information about hearing requirements necessary to apply for driving privileges. A consultation is done on a walk-in basis, no appointment necessary.
