Tinley Park, IL – Tinley Park officials are stepping up to offer a new home for the Department of Motor Vehicles after reports surfaced that the Orland Park DMV may soon close. The move could bring relief to South Side residents, who frequent one of Illinois’ busiest DMV branches.
According to a statement posted Wednesday by the Village of Tinley Park Illinois Government, Orland Township recently voted to close the Orland Park DMV. In response, Mayor Glotz has proactively reached out to the Illinois Secretary of State’s office, pitching Tinley Park as a potential new location for the agency.
“Our South Side has consistently been one of the busiest DMVs in the State of Illinois,” the village’s social media statement noted. Mayor Glotz added, “We would welcome the DMV in our town and would be willing to assist the Secretary of State’s office in any way that we could, to make this happen.”
While no final decision has been made regarding the DMV’s relocation, the offer from Tinley Park signals strong local interest in maintaining access to DMV services for area residents. The village’s outreach to state officials also reflects ongoing community concerns about wait times and service accessibility, should the Orland Park location close.
Residents are encouraged to follow updates from both the Secretary of State’s office and the Village of Tinley Park for future announcements regarding the DMV’s potential move.
