The Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles, or Illinois DMV, is in charge of handling everything related to motor vehicles such as new vehicle registrations, driving licenses, renewal of licenses, applying for permits, car title registration, as well as ordering specialty license plates. You can get all these services by visiting the Illinois secretary of state offices or you can save time and money by getting online services from their online platform.
Illinois DMV Vehicle Registration Process
The process of new vehicle registration is handled by the Office of the Illinois Secretary of State (SOS). Registration can be done using Electronic Registration and Title (ERT) system and it is done within the first 20 of buying or inheriting your vehicle, whether new or used. The new registration form must be accompanied by applicable titling and registration fees.
Illinois DMV Vehicle Registration Requirements
When using the Illinois ERT System, an applicant begins by entering his or her last name, the license number and four digits of their Social Security number. Also, the following information is required:
Whether the car is used or new, in case it is used, it must be specified if it is rebuilt or not
Specify the title such as registration only, title transfer or corrected title.
? The title number
? The vehicle identification number
? The purchase date of the vehicle
? The vehicle license plate type
The completed Illinois DMV vehicle registration application form, supporting documents together with applicable registration payments are submitted to the local Illinois SOS office within a period of seven days of obtaining the application. Consecutively, the new registration soft copy form can be submitted via email to the Vehicle Services Department of the Illinois SOS.

In Illinois, new vehicle registration services are handled by the dealer if they are bought directly from a dealership. The information submitted to the SOS include; an IL registration of the vehicle and title type, Sales Tax Transaction accompanied by a tax check payable to the Illinois Department of Revenue and car surrender document along with all car titling and vehicle registration charges.

I moved to a new state several years ago and had to surrender my Illinois licence to get my Texas licence. Now I\’m trying to get a name change, but I need to know my Illinois license number for legal documentation. How do I find this out?

Benjamin, you will want to contact the Illinois motor vehicle department directly to inquire about getting your Illinois driver’s license number. You can call them directly @ 312-793-1010

I want to get the money owed me or sale a vehicle I worked on in Bowling Green, Ky. and the owner never came back to pay or pick it up. It has been on the lot for about 5 or more years. The vin # is 1GTCS19X6V8504445 and it is a GMC Sonoma. Can you send me the owners name and address so I can pursue collection on the vehicle. My intentions are to sell it a t public auction if possible if I can tell the buyer he or she can get a title. Please let me know what I can do to sell this vehicle and recover some or all of my money. Thanks
In this situation you will want to file a police report, with your local Illinois police department, that a vehicle you have been contracted to work on is abandoned and that you are owed funds. You can also file a mechanics lien on the vehicle. You would need to contact your county clerk of the court to find out how to proceed with this process. As far as the DMV goes, you can inquire about getting a hold of the owner to let he or she know you are filing an abandoned vehicle report with the police
I am an out of state employer. Is there a way for me to verify if an Illinois license is fake or not? I have one in hand that looks like a really bad Photoshop job on the person’s head, but the rest of the document looks ok?… Maybe? Not sure how else to know if it’s legit, but my gut says it’s not right.
You should definitely go with your gut but unfortunately if we cannot see the Illinois driver’s license in person it would be very difficult to tell it’s authenticity. You can bring it to your local law enforcement agency or the DMV to verify the IL driver’s license if you’re uncertain.
I would like to research the validity and history of a title for a Classic Car which was registered in IL up to two years ago. The title was transferred to Duncan Classic Cars and Imports around May 11th this year, a few days ago. The VIN is 6Y85Q149889, and the car is a 1966 Ford Thunderbird. This VIN does not come up on the national data base for some reason. Many DMV’s provide historical title data for research purposes for a small fee which I am pleased to pay. Thank you
For this classic car VIN number, which is only 11 digits, is not in our database. We only have vehicle history reports available for vehicle that we manufactured in the last few decades with 17 digits. That being said, you can reach out to a multitude of websites ( i.e. CarFax ) that have the ability to run VINs from classic or vintage cars.
