New Vehicles
All vehicles registered in Des Plaines or garaged in the city are
required to display a current Des Plaines vehicle sticker. This
includes leased vehicles, company cars and vehicles registered to a
Des Plaines address but housed in a college town. The City also
licenses motorcycles. Vehicle stickers are renewed during the period
of May 1 through June 30 of each year and must be displayed by July
1. Vehicle stickers are valid from July 1 through June 30 of
the following year.
Residents with information on file will receive a pre-printed
form in the mail on or before May 1. If you do not receive a form by
May 10, please call 847-391-5319 or stop by the City Hall for an
application. Residents with pre-printed forms may mail their
applications to the City's lockbox destination, use the City Hall
drop box, various currency exchanges that sell stickers, or come in
person to the City Hall, 1420 Miner Street, during normal business
hours. Normal business hours for the City Hall are: Monday through
Friday 8:00 am - 5:00 pm.
Stickers are on sale throughout the year at the City Hall.
New residents and newly purchased car owners have 45 days to
purchase and display stickers. This is regardless of whether
or not license plates have been received.

 Transferring
Stickers
Transfer stickers must be purchased when one vehicle is
sold and another substituted for that vehicle.
Transfer/replacement stickers may be obtained by presenting
scrapings of a present valid sticker. Transfer to a vehicle in
the same class is $5 and a transfer between classes is $5 plus the
difference of scheduled fees, if any.
New
Residents
New residents must purchase vehicle stickers within 45
days of moving into Des Plaines. New residents with a current
vehicle sticker from the municipality where they previously resided
may apply for a Des Plaines vehicle sticker at the transfer fee rate
of $5 as long as the valid sticker expires on the same day as the
Des Plaines sticker, which is June 30. There is an additional
$2.50 per month charge for every month the sticker expires prior to
the expiration of a Des Plaines sticker. Also, new residents should
include a copy of their lease agreement or closing papers for proof
& date of residency.
New
Vehicles
Residents acquiring a new vehicle have 45 days to
purchase a vehicle sticker. Residents should include a copy of
the sales or lease receipt/contract.
