Thank you for asking Jasmine.
A driving record in Illinois is possible not taken off when you reach the age of 18.
According to the IL driver’s manual the Secretary of State (SOS) keeps records of the moving violations and accidents you accumulated while you were a resident of Illinois. If you are cited of a moving violation violation while driving in another state, the violation will be added on your driving record as though it happened in Illinois.
Even if you are not residing in Illinois but got convicted of an immediate action moving violation in Illinois, a driving record will be established for you in Illinois and the moving violation also will be forwarded to your home state.
There’s no information from the SOS or in the IL driver’s manual of the driving record being taken off when a driver turns 18.You may be able to verify however with the SOS to make sure if a minor’s driving history is taken off once they turn eighteen year old.
Goodluck!
