A: Unless you have 4 or more convictions for DUI yes you can. First you have to resolve the driving while revoked ticket. Then you will have to have a hearing with the Illinois Secretary of State. There’s a long process to getting ready for that and you should consider retaining an attorney.

A: You will need to go through an administrative hearing with the Secretary of State to regain driving privileges. Your driving on revoked case will need to be resolved first. License reinstatement is a complex process and the assistance of an experienced attorney is strongly encouraged.
