Vehicle owners will then need to enter their assigned registration ID and PIN, which can be found on their current vehicle registration card.

To register for the program, visit and click on “Email License Plates Renewal” on the main page under Online Services. The emails also contain the vehicle owner’s registration ID and PIN, simplifying the process of renewing license plate stickers online each year. The one-time registration process allows vehicle owners to receive a series of three email notices per vehicle each year highlighting the upcoming vehicle expiration date. “Those who sign up for this service will also save the state money by eliminating the need to print and mail annual post card reminder notices.”

“This is an environmentally friendly initiative for customers that encourages online transactions with my office,” said White. On Friday, April 22, which was Earth Day, Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White encouraged vehicle owners to observe the occasion by going paperless and visiting to sign up for email reminder notices for license plate sticker renewals.
