How to sell a vehicle privately in Illinois

The seller assigns the Illinois title and the buyer applies for title and registration using the current Secretary of State process. Verify the VIN, sale date, and odometer entry on the title.

A private-party purchase generally also requires the applicable Illinois tax form. Sellers can retain and submit the Seller's Report of Sale, VSD 703, as directed by the Secretary of State.

Keep this generated bill of sale as a transaction record, but do not use it in place of the title, VSD 190, tax return, or another required state form.
