The Illinois Secretary of State’s Drivers License facility in Fairfield, along with several nearby communities, has updated its operating hours. As of Monday, September 23rd, the new hours are 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, a change from the previous schedule of 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
Saturday hours have also been adjusted; the facilities will now operate from 7:30 AM to noon. This change will impact locations in Carmi, Flora, Harrisburg, Mt. Vernon, Mt. Carmel, and Olney. Officials from the Secretary of State’s office indicated that a data-driven analysis showed higher customer demand in the morning compared to the early evening. By opening earlier, DMV offices aim to improve service accessibility and reduce wait times.
