License Question, Relocating 2 Years, 4 Months ago Karma: 0  
Hi All
We are going to be moving up to Chicago from North Carolina this summer and I need some information regarding Il. Motorcycle endorsements. My wife and I both have NC License with motorcycle endorsement (she has a Sportster and mine is an Atlantic Blue '05 K1200 LT)

What do we have to do to convert to an Il. license??

Your advise would be appreciated. Thanks and Ride Safe

Any time I have a question regarding Illinois drivers license or vehicle license I go to our Secretary of State website. This site should (and usually does) answer all questions, including rules, fees, locations of facilities, etc. I use his name as a search word to find the site. The name is "Jesse White". I am including a link to the "frequently asked questions" page. Scroll down about 1/3 on the list to see info on transfers from other states. And welcome to Illinois.

Visit one of the Illinois DMV's and apply. they will tell all you need to know.
You can also aquire a Rules of the road on line. Go to http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/site_map.html Good luck and welcome to your new home. The land of the best food in the World and the most Beautiful Lake front.

Welcome to Chicago!

I go to the DMV often and will be there next week. From prior experience I know that for some states Illinos will honor your driver's license and your motorcycle endorsement. I'm not sure which states are reciprocating states with Illinois, but I'll check on North Carolina and edit this post accordingly. Larry

Jim,

Let me add my welcome. Hope that you will be joining us at meetings. One thing I thought you might find useful for the two of you would be some riding ideas. So here are a few for IL and southern WI and East Iowa:

Yes, we really do have Monday Night Hot Dog rides from April through November. And some of us are hoping that the the roads (and my driveway) will be clear on MLK's holiday!
