Vehicle Licensing
 
City of Waukegan Ordinance 21.247 requires all vehicles registered with the Secretary of State, State of Illinois to an address within the corporate limits of the City of Waukegan, to display a valid City vehicle sticker. This means that even if the vehicle is not physically in Waukegan, it must display a valid City vehicle sticker. The address appearing in the Secretary of State's records for the vehicle is the criterion and the owner of record is responsible for obtaining the sticker.



Vehicle license stickers are due April 30th. The vehicle license sticker expires every year. A new one needs to be purchased by April 30th for the upcoming year.

The sticker must be displayed. The sticker shall be affixed to the lower right hand corner of the windshield (passenger side).



Passenger vehicle stickers are available for $40.00 for cars and $25 for motorcycles. If purchased after May 31, the cost includes a penalty of 50% of the original fee. If your plates are registered on or after November 1st you will pay only 50% of the application fee when applying for a vehicle sticker. Vehicles other than passenger vehicles have different license fees, see City Ordinance 21.248.
