The Illinois Secretary of State transmits DUI conviction records to the home state through the Driver License Compact and Commercial Driver License Information System within days of the court entering final judgment. Statutory summary suspension may transmit earlier, depending on state-to-state protocols. The chicagoduilawyer.net brand tracks transmission timing because it determines when home-state administrative responses can begin. Pre-conviction, only the arrest and pending case status may reach the home state. Once conviction is entered, the electronic record transmits automatically. There is no defendant-controlled step to delay or prevent transmission after judgment.
