About VSD 190

Official name: Illinois Form VSD 190 — Application for Vehicle Transaction(s)

Issued by: Illinois Secretary of State — Vehicle Services

Purpose: Documents the private sale price and odometer for the RUT-50 tax return. VSD 190 is the title application filed at a Secretary of State facility.

When required: The buyer applies for the title within 20 days after the vehicle and the assigned title are delivered; the RUT-50 use-tax return is due within 30 days of purchase. Motorcycles/ATVs are a flat $25; privately acquired trailers are exempt.

What VSD 190 is

VSD 190 is the Illinois Secretary of State's Application for Vehicle Transaction(s). The Secretary of State says it must be completed for any license plate or title transaction.

You can fill it in and print it online through the Electronic Registration and Title (ERT) system, or pick one up at a Secretary of State facility.

What it is used for

• Plate transactions: title and plates, plates only, a sticker only, title and transfer, a plate transfer only, or a corrected or duplicate registration ID card.
• Title without plates: a title only (if the vehicle will not be driven), a duplicate or corrected title, a junking certificate or a salvage certificate.

Getting it right the first time

• The vehicle and owner details must match the title you hand in, and the buyer's name in the title assignment must match the application.
• The odometer reading must be certified on the title assignment, along with the date of sale. The VIN on the title must match the one on the dash or door.
• Every owner signs, and names and signatures must match. Mark Jr. or Sr. at the top and in the signature area if it applies.
• Print the owner's name, address and driver's license number (or FEIN) clearly, and enter the current odometer reading.
• Add the Temporary Registration Permit number if you were issued one.

What to send with it

• Tax Form RUT-50 for a vehicle bought from an individual, with a separate check for the tax made out to the Illinois Department of Revenue. It goes to the Secretary of State with your application, not to the Department of Revenue.
• The title and registration fees, payable to the Secretary of State.
• Mail it to the Secretary of State, Vehicle Services Department, 501 S. 2nd St., Room 014, Springfield, IL 62756, or take it to a facility. Applications with missing details or fees are sent back.

Moving your plates to the new vehicle

• Check "Title and Transfer", enter the plate number and both vehicles' details, and enclose the most recent registration ID card for those plates.
• If a co-owner of the old vehicle will not own the new one, that person must release their interest in the plates in writing.
• Plates cannot move from one person or business to another.
