Orland Park, IL – Residents of Orland Park may soon lose their local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) services after a key decision by the Orland Township board. The township’s recent vote to end its partnership with the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office means the DMV will be removed from the township building, raising concerns for local drivers.
According to a statement posted by the Village of Orland Park on social media, Mayor Jim Dodge responded quickly after learning of the board’s decision Monday evening. The mayor said he immediately contacted Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias’ office to help identify a new location for the DMV in Orland Park.
“We are currently working in conjunction with Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias and Orland Township Supervisor Paul O’Grady to find a way to continue to provide these services to the Orland Park community,” Dodge said in the official message.
The township board’s vote, made by a majority of its newly elected members, ends the existing relationship with the Secretary of State’s Office. No timeline was given for when the DMV will vacate the building or when a potential new location could open.
For now, Orland Park residents are advised to monitor local government updates for further information. Area officials have pledged to work together to prevent a disruption in DMV services for the community.
This developing story will be updated as new details emerge regarding DMV access for Orland Park and the surrounding area.
