Illinois grocery stores offer a new and easy way to renew driver's licenses and license plates.

We've all been there: Your license plate sticker is about to expire, or your driver's license needs to be renewed, but you just keep putting it off.

Many other things are on your "to-do" list, but standing in line at the DMV is not one of them.

If you had to poll folks on the things they despised doing the most, spending any amount of time at the DMV would be way up at the top.

I agree, and it seems that Alexi Giannoulias, the Secretary of State for Illinois, also thinks so.

Either that, or he's just trying to make things easier for us while we do other errands, like grocery shopping.

That's why Giannoulias announced something called "Fast-Lane" kiosks.

The kiosks are designed to allow you to renew your driver's license and license plates, all while taking care of the groceries.

The "Fast-Lane" kiosks are available in 15 different Chicago suburbs and downstate locations inside Mariano's, Jewel-Osco, Kroger, and Meijer.

Jewel-Osco locations:
4042 West Foster Avenue in Chicago
1500 Lee Street in Des Plaines
1177 South Main Street in Lombard
7122 40th Street in Stickney

Mariano's locations:
3350 North Western Avenue in Chicago
3145 South Ashland Avenue in Chicago
3857 South Martin Luther King Drive in Chicago
40 South Halsted Street in Chicago
1615 South Clark Street in Chicago
11000 South Cicero in Oak Lawn
1900 South Cumberland in Park Ridge

Meijer:
3800 Vollmer Road in Flossmoor
4200 Conestoga Drive in Springfield

Kroger:
201 South Mian Street in East Peoria

Rockford does not yet have a "Fast-Lane" kiosk, but since it's a starter program, the belief has to be that we will eventually get one.
