What You Need for License Plate Renewal in Illinois

• Current vehicle registration card or renewal notice

Understanding Illinois Plate Sticker Renewal Timelines

The colored sticker on your rear plate displays the month and year your registration expires, with the month on top and year on bottom. Your registration officially expires at midnight on the last day of the expiration month shown on your sticker. For example, if your sticker shows "12 2024," your registration expires at midnight on December 31, 2024.

You can renew your registration up to three months before expiration to avoid late fees and tickets. If you miss your renewal deadline, you risk receiving expensive tickets from law enforcement. Late renewal also incurs additional fees - $20 for renewals up to one month late, and higher penalties for longer delays.

Fortunately, WSCE provides immediate sticker service, so you can drive away with current registration the same day. Even if you've received a ticket for expired registration, we can help get you back in compliance quickly. Our experienced staff can check your registration status and handle any late renewal fees or special requirements.
