Understanding License Plate and Car Title Transfers in Illinois

In Illinois, you must transfer the car title and registration before a new owner can legally drive the car. Additionally, you’ll need to complete an Application for Vehicle Transaction(s) (VSD 190), which must be completed and submitted to the state.

WSCE can process all of this paperwork, provide updated plates, and even issue an updated Illinois plate sticker if necessary. Once we file everything, you are free to drive your vehicle!

WSCE can also assist in getting your vehicle registered if you’ve just moved to Illinois from out of state. Moving is hard enough without dealing with the burden of the registration process. We can help you in making it as pleasant and hassle-free as possible.
