Do you need a front license plate in Illinois?
I just got a job in Normal, Illinois, and I’m excited about moving to my new home. However, I don’t know much about the car registration process. Do I need to get a front license plate in Illinois?

Congrats on the new job! To answer your question, Illinois requires both a front and rear license plate on all cars registered within the state. Since you’re moving to the Land of Lincoln, you’ll need to register your out-of-town car and get an Illinois driver’s license within 90 days of moving to the state.
Vehicle registration
in Illinois costs $151, which includes both plates and a registration sticker that’s good for one year. After the year is up, you’ll need to renew the registration. Illinois will send you a notice in the mail a month or two beforehand.Since you’re establishing residency, you should put
