How often must an Illinois driver age 87 or older renew a driver's license?
-
A.
Every two years
-
B.
Every six months
-
C.
Every four years
-
D.
Every year Correct
The answer is "Every year"
Once a driver reaches age 87, the license renews every year. The two-year answer belongs to the 81-86 band listed directly above the annual-renewal rule, and a driver who read only the first age exception can extend it upward instead of stepping down to annual.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Every two years
The two-year cycle applies to drivers ages 81 through 86, not to those age 87 and older. This answer extends the 81-86 senior band upward instead of dropping to the annual rule.
B. Every six months
Illinois does not require semiannual renewal for any age category. This answer overshoots the tightening pattern of the senior renewal schedule by cutting the cycle in half again.
C. Every four years
The four-year cycle applies to standard adult drivers, not to drivers age 87 and older. This answer applies the standard adult renewal cycle to a senior age band that carries a shorter one.
