As many states in the US, Illinois started issuing license plates in the early 1900’s. Beginning in 1907, Illinois began making it mandatory that people register their vehicles with the state and place a license plate on their vehicle however the state did not issue the plates themselves. People were required to provide their own license plates until 1911 when the state finally issued them to registered car, truck and motorcycle owners. In the early days the state also required people to carry an registered aluminum disc on their front dashboard which was their vehicle registration. It was supposed to match the license plate they had on the back of the vehicle. The aluminum registration disc were discontinued in 1917. Today, each Illinois registered driver must have 2 license plates, registration stickers on the rear plate and a registration card, valid driver’s license and current auto insurance all in the vehicle when it’s being driven.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance
I PURCHASED A 2003 MERCEDES S CLASS S430 FROM MY FATHER IN LAW A WEEK AGO, IN DOING A CAR FAX IT SHOWED A DISCREPENCY IN THE MILEAGE. ON 8/31/11 THE CAR WAS SOLD TO SOMEONE IN YOUR STATE WHEN IT WAS SOLD CAR SHOWED 51,702 MILES ON IT. 7 DAYS LATER I BELIVE THERE WAS A TYPO AT YOUR OFFICE AND 72,221 WAS ENTERED. I AM NOT POSITIVE OF THAT , BUT I DONT THINK THE CAR COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVEN 20,519 MILES IN 7 DAYS. I AM TRYING TO GET THIS SITUATION FIXED BEFORE I GET IT REGISTERED IN INDIANA. CURRENTLY I HAVE A TITLE THAT SAYS THAT IT IS ”BRANDED VEHICLE” WHICH COULD MEAN THAT IT WAS TOTALED IN AN ACCIDENT, OR MILEAGE ISSUE WHICH I KNOW IS THE PROBLEM. CAR FAX EVEN SAYS WITH ALL THE VEHICLES HISTORY THAT IT IS A CLERICAL ERROR. IF IT HELPS OUT ANY A TITLE NUMBER SHOWING ON CAR FAX IS ”’X1249685331”’ I AM SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND MY SITUATION ON THIS MATTER SINCE THIS TYPE OF TITLE WILL DECREASE THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU FEEL AS IF THIS SITUATION CAN BE FIXED, BY ME SENDING YOU THE HISTORY OF THE VEHICLE, AND ALL MILEAGES AT EACH DEALER. THANK YOU. I KNOW WITH THE COVID 19 SITUATION THIS CANNOT BE DONE OVERNIGHT, BUT I AM SURE YOU CAN GET ME STARTE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

This morning (10/10/2019) someone put a lost dog in their car on southbound route 45 close to the cross street of 45 and Townline Road. It was a black Infinity with a vanity plate that looks similar to GRFFFF or GRRRF. (He said he was a veterinarian.) Is there a way to track this person down? I’m concerned that he may have stolen this dog.

Hello Murphy,
You are correct, a municipal or government vehicle is typically not to be driven for personal use. That being said, how are you certain it was being driven for personal use? Unfortunately our databases information on Illinois license plate numbers does not include government or municipal vehicles. Below is a link to better explain the uses of a government vehicle.

Just saw a municipal silver ford escape. It had a dog in back and a passenger in it also. If it is a municipal vehicle is this ok for it to be used as personal vehicle? Licence plate M186536. If its ok, disregard.
