📖 Topic overview
This chapter covers the paperwork and responsibilities that come with owning a vehicle in Illinois: buying from a dealer, a private owner, or out of state; registering the vehicle and obtaining a Certificate of Title; and license plate requirements, including the Temporary Registration Permit issued while you wait for plates.
It also covers ongoing ownership duties that are tested often: annual registration renewal, mandatory liability insurance with its minimum coverage amounts, emissions testing in certain counties, and the special/reduced-fee and disability license plates and parking placards available to qualifying owners.
A common mistake is assuming license plates stay with the vehicle when it's sold — in Illinois, plates belong to the owner, not the car, so a seller keeps them. Another is confusing the different disability placard types, since only some of them exempt the holder from parking-meter fees.
Do I get to keep the license plates if I sell my vehicle?
Yes — in Illinois, license plates remain with the owner, not the vehicle. When you sell a vehicle, you should remove and keep the plates rather than leaving them with the buyer.
What is a Temporary Registration Permit (TRP) and how long is it valid?
A TRP is issued when you register a vehicle so you can drive it legally while waiting for your plates. It's valid for 90 days from issuance and should be removed and destroyed once your permanent plates arrive.
What are Illinois' minimum liability insurance requirements?
The minimums are $25,000 for injury or death of one person, $50,000 for injury or death of more than one person, and $20,000 for property damage in a single crash — and you must be able to show proof of coverage to law enforcement on request.
