auto Illinois insurance
Reader’s Question:
I have a ticket in the state of Wisconsin and I am licensed in the state of Illinois. Will this be placed in my driving record in Illinois?

Thank you for asking Rey.
Wisconsin is actually not a member of the Drivers License Compact. Members of DLC requires member states to share moving infraction convictions, but has still decide to share ticket information with the home state of an out if state motorist cited in WI. So once you have been cited of the traffic or moving violation you were ticketed for in the Wisconsin courts, the ticket will be sent to Illinois.
The IL Secretary of State site does not say specifically that out of state tickets are put on your driving history. The Illinois Administrative Code Motor Vehicle however provides information on the Illinois offense table. It is noted that all out-of-state infractions are to be considered and to be coded exactly as Illinois Vehicle Code infraction with the exception of the first digit which shall be an “8.”
To make sure if this will be added to your driving record or points will be added and if so how many, check with the IL Secretary of State Service for Motorist division to get more information.
Goodluck!
