Illinois Lost Vehicle Title

So how do you get a duplicate car title in the state of Illinois?

Application Process
In Illinois, you apply for a duplicate title through the Secretary of State using form VSD-190. You can fill out the form online, print it out, or submit it.

Duplicate Car Title Fee
If you had lost your car title in Illinois, look very hard to find it because their duplicate car title fee is $95. It’s one of the highest in the country. Most states charge ten or fifteen or twenty dollars. Illinois charges almost $100, so look very carefully for that title before you go through the lost title process.

Completing the Form
If you fill out that form, make sure you complete the mileage section. Without the mileage filled in properly, they will reject the form and they won’t send you a title.

Out-of-State Residents
Also, out-of-state residents may not apply for an Illinois duplicate title if they purchase the vehicle without a title from an Illinois resident. You have to have that Illinois resident fill out that form.

Receiving the Duplicate Title
Once it’s done and you submit it, they’ll send you this piece of paper with your name on it evidencing you’re the owner of the car. But make sure you look hard or try to find that title before spending $100 to get another one.
