You have legally changed your name. Within how many days must you apply for a corrected Illinois driver's license?
-
A.
30 days Correct
-
B.
60 days
-
C.
90 days
-
D.
10 days
The answer is "30 days"
A legal name change starts a 30-day clock to apply for a corrected license. The 10-day answer belongs to the address-change rule printed in the same section, and a driver who ran the two rules together can grab the shorter number by mistake.
The traps in the wrong answers
B. 60 days
Illinois does not use 60 days for a name-change correction. This answer guesses a middle value between the address-change 10-day rule and the new-resident 90-day rule.
C. 90 days
Ninety days is the deadline for a new resident to obtain an Illinois license, not for a name-change correction. This answer applies the new-resident 90-day timeline to a name change that happens after licensing.
D. 10 days
Ten days is the window for reporting an address change, not for updating your license after a legal name change. This answer pulls in the address-change deadline listed in the same paragraph as the name-change rule.
