The registration process for State of Illinois PKI Digital ID begins here for all users, both Illinois residents and out-of-state users.

PKI Digital ID is not a driver’s license or state ID. Enroll for PKI Digital ID only if you need a digital certificate to conduct online business with the State of Illinois.

Digital certificates are used for electronic document signing, file encryption, and access to specfic websites protected by PKI Digital ID authentication — MEDI (HFS), CHIRP/CWI (State Police), eCCPIS (Aging), COOL (Pollution Control) or Web3270.

For mobile driver’s license and ID card information, visit the Illinois Mobile Driver's Licenses and State IDs information page on The Office of the Illinois Secretary of State website.
