The Illinois Secretary of State's office established the Emergency Contact Database n July 1, 2009. The database allows Illinois driver's license and ID cardholders to enter emergency contact information  into a voluntary, secure database. In the event of a motor vehicle crash or other emergency situation when a person is unable to communicate directly, law enforcement may access the database to help them reach the person's designated contacts.

For more information or to join the Emergency Contact Database, visit www.cyberdriveillinois.com
