Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024
a) General Provisions
1) For the purpose of this Part, Illinois
Temporary Registration Permit (hereinafter referred to as Temporary Permit)
shall refer to a temporary plate, issued or provided by the Secretary of State,
which allows the operation of a vehicle after proper application has been made
and fees received, until the receipt of registration plates and/or
sticker.
2) The Secretary of State
shall prescribe the form and content of the Temporary Permit plate. Temporary
Permit plates shall include both a standard size plate and a reduced size plate
for use on motor driven cycles or motorcycles. The Secretary of State shall
issue the Temporary Permit and no other document shall be deemed a valid
Temporary Permit. This provision shall in no way be construed as restricting
the provisions of Section 3-401 of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
3) Entities authorized to issue Temporary
Permit Plates pursuant to Section
1010.421
of this Part shall have the necessary computer hardware, software and
communication devices for accessing the Secretary of State's Internet site for
the registration of Temporary Permit plates.
4) The Temporary Permit shall not be valid
for more than 90 days from the date of issuance, unless extended or reduced at
the discretion of the Secretary of State. In exercising that discretion, the
Secretary of State shall take into consideration the following factors:
A) The nature and type of
application;
B) The availability of
the registration plates and/or stickers applied for;
C) The processing time for the
application;
D) Other relevant
matters affecting the issuance thereof.
In any event, once the applied-for registration plates and/or
stickers have been issued to and received by the applicant, the Temporary
Permit is void.
5) The Temporary Permit plate shall be
securely attached to the rear of the vehicle in the space designed for the
permanent registration plate, consistent with the provisions of Section
3-413(b) of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
6) The Temporary Permit must be removed upon
receipt of the registration plates and/or sticker. The Temporary Permit is not
transferable from one person to another, nor from vehicle to vehicle.
b) Newly Acquired Vehicles
A Temporary Permit to operate a newly acquired vehicle for
which a valid application for title and registration has been filed,
accompanied with the proper fees, may be issued by or for the Secretary of
State to the buyer of such vehicle, pending action upon the application.
c) Renewal Registrations
In the event that an individual fails to renew a registration
plate or sticker upon expiration, a Temporary Permit may be issued only by a
Secretary of State facility, or remittance agent, and only under the following
circumstances:
1) The applicant
presents proof of ownership of the vehicle through a title, preprinted
application, I.D. Card, or verification of ownership by the records of the
Secretary of State.
2) The
applicant presents payment of all fees due.
3) The renewal registration plates and/or
stickers are not readily available at a financial institution, as defined in
Section
1010.240
of this Part.
4) The appropriate
registration stickers or registration plates are not immediately available at a
facility.
d)
Miscellaneous Provisions
The Secretary of State may also issue Temporary Permits only
at official State of Illinois facilities in any of the following
situations:
1) If an individual has
made application for registration, either renewal or otherwise, prior to
expiration and does not receive the registration by the expiration date. The
individual must present proof thereof acceptable to the Secretary of
State;
2) Any situation where the
individual makes proper application for title and registration, or registration
alone, and the Secretary of State is unable to issue the appropriate
registration at that time.
