You move to a new address within Illinois. Within how many days must you notify the Secretary of State's office of the address change?
-
A.
30 days
-
B.
60 days
-
C.
90 days
-
D.
10 days Correct
The answer is "10 days"
Illinois requires notice of any address change within 10 days. The 30-day answer pulls the name-change deadline from the same section, and a driver who read the two rules in one pass can grab that number instead.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 30 days
Thirty days is the window for applying for a corrected license after a legal name change, not for an address change. This answer swaps in the name-change deadline listed one paragraph above the address-change rule.
B. 60 days
Illinois does not set a 60-day window for reporting a move; the deadline is far shorter. This answer pulls a number from the vehicle-registration reminder postcard timing that has nothing to do with license address changes.
C. 90 days
Ninety days is the window for a new Illinois resident to convert an out-of-state license, not the deadline for reporting a move within Illinois. This answer applies the new-resident 90-day rule to a move that happens entirely inside the state.
