Secretary of State Warns of Real ID Scam

Illinois scammers are texting people, offering to update their driver’s licenses to Real IDs. “Don’t fall for it,” Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White warns. The scammers are just out to get people to click on their link and give them personal information, the Secretary of State says. “The scam has nothing to do with getting a Real ID,” Illinois Secretary of State’s office spokesperson Henry Haupt says. “It is a phishing scam.” An Illinois resident cannot upgrade a driver’s license to a Real ID by going online, Haupt says. People need to apply in person at Illinois Driver Services. Bring a certified birth certificate, passport, social security card or other valid identification to the office. Before going to Driver Services, Haupt recommends visiting the Illinois Secretary of State Real ID for a list of acceptable documents.
