Illinois digital driver's licenses

The state of Illinois is planning to join about a dozen other states in offering residents the option of having a digital driver's license or digital ID. Here's when it will happen, how it works, and what you'll need to do to get one if you're interested.

Multiple states have introduced, or are in the process of introducing digital IDs and drivers licenses. Going digital has gotten some very positive reviews from the public and from law enforcement, so when can Illinois residents expect to see Illinois go digital?

It all breaks down to convenience--would you rather have your driver's license ready-to-go on your phone for any time you need to produce identification, or are you totally fine with the way we've always had a physical copy to dig out of our wallets when the need arises?
