The vehicle title transfer process in Illinois involves several key steps: obtaining the original title, completing the title assignment, and providing necessary documents such as a bill of sale and an odometer disclosure statement for newer vehicles. Proper documentation ensures a smooth transfer.
Illinois doesn't require a bill of sale and the state doesn't have a standardized form for one. But, that doesn't mean you can't create your own as proof of the transaction to protect your interests.
It is important to make sure all the requirements for the respected state law are included in the bill of sale. As, with any legal written document a bill of sale can be handwritten.
The two parties (buyer and seller) meet in person. The buyer pays the seller. Both fill out the physical certificate of title, and sign.
All other transactions i.e. transfers, new registrations, plate changes, duplicate registrations, and decal changes need to be completed by the primary owner only. These transactions require a signature of the primary owner to authorize the transaction.
