Keep Your Illinois Vehicle Title Safe
An Illinois vehicle title is a very important certified document that shows ownership of a vehicle. It’s best practice to keep a vehicle title in a safe at home or a safety deposit box so that it will not get lost or misplaced. A vehicle title should never be kept in the car, truck or SUV you own as someone will have all your personal information and can sign over the vehicle to themselves if they have direct access to the original copy of the title. It’s also important to have on hand if you ever want to sell your vehicle as it can be signed over directly to the buyer as as well as provide evidence that the vehicle actually belongs to you and not someone else. There is also a release of liability form and bill of sale feature attached to the Illinois vehicle title that is necessary when selling a vehicle. If for some reason you lose your vehicle title you can have the Illinois DMV send you a certified copy for a nominal fee but they will typically only mail it to the address listed on your vehicle registration for security reasons.

I am a mechanic licensed in the State of Wisconsin. An Illinois-titled vehicle was abandoned at my place of business. To contact the owner regarding a mechanic’s lien, I need the Illinois vehicle’ owner’s name and address and the names and addresses of any lien holders. In Wisconsin, I submit a form for this information and pay a $5 fee. How do I obtain this information from Illinois vehicle records? Your website offers information but none of it specifically matches what I am seeking.
You can also file a police report for an Abandoned vehicle and they will typically be able to locate the owner of the vehicle and you can have the vehicle towed at the owner’s expense. There are also other options possible if the owner of the registered Illinois vehicle owner is unreachable.
I bought a custom built motorcycle (special constructed) the original title was created in Illinois. The title VIN is SOS314756ILL this vin is also on the neck of the bike. I’m trying to figure out why that vin was used when the title was created. From what I understand once the bike is built and pass inspection then a vin will be issued and you place the 17 digit vin as directed. The 17 digit vin is 4K7S81356A0028938. A guy from Wisconsin bought the bike I have the Wisconsin title but the vin is still SOS314756IL is there anyway that I can get some type of documentation so that I can title it in Florida? I am not sure if the original owner builder failed to do something on his part or what.
Frank, you’ll need to visit the Illinois SOS in person or you can access some of their resources online to get Illinois motorcycle title documentation from the IL SOS website.
