This the actually the fee to register your car in Illinois, as you are issued a license plate at the time of registration. Many IL Cities require their citizens to pay for a sticker that denotes the vehicle's owner as residing in the city. The fee for a non-personalized standard license plate is 101. In any case the stickers that are seen in the windows are for local municipalities. And some truck plates require a "-b" placed at the end or they wont come back. A truck that is declared not to be used for hauling can get a regular Auto plate. The other thing about IL plates is that a truck plate is only a truck plate if the vehicle is going to be used to haul things. Maybe I don't fully understand the registration process but having multiple places to register your plates seems only to complicate the system.


You may obtain a replacement month sticker at no cost from your local DMV or by calling our contact center at 1-80 (if eligible). The simple fact that a person can register their vehicle at a "Currency Exchange" rather than only through a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) seems to me to be part of the problem. Submit a completed Application for Replacement Plates, Stickers, Documents (REG 156) and the fee to the address on the form or your local DMV office. I usually attribute the problem to the fact that IL usually is several months behind in their record keeping. I understand the color of the stickers, but many times, after stopping a car with IL plates, The vehicle's registration will not come back. I work in Wisconsin on the Illinois border and I can say that Illinois registration is a very odd thing.
