How to register a car in Illinois?

Firstly, one has to go to a local Illinois Secretary of State office or the SOS office to carry out the registration procedures. Secondly, the application vehicle transaction, Form VSD 190, needs to be filled out, printed, and submitted within seven days. This form is available at the SOS office or can be obtained online from the electronic registration and title system.

  • Bill of sale and copy of the loan agreement
  • Details of the car, including the make and model, VIN, and proof of the age of the car
  • Form RUT-50 or RUT-25 is the required tax form. It is available in person if purchased from a previous owner or from a dealership, respectively.
  • Payment of the fees

What are the different fees that need to be paid in the state for vehicle registration?

The tax fees and the registration fee vary depending on the car model and the kind of license plate opted for.
  • Registration fees: $151 to $164 per year
