I really want a custom license plate, but I don’t have a lot of spare cash at the moment. Exactly how much should it cost to buy a custom license plate in Illinois?

Car modifications
can be expensive, but custom license plates are a relatively cheap way to personalize your car. In fact, you can get custom license plates in
Illinois
for $94 upfront and an extra $47 in annual registration fees.
While custom license plates are more expensive in Illinois than they are in other states, they’re still a relatively affordable option. Other types of car modifications, like lowering your suspension or getting a new paint job, can cost thousands of dollars.
Compared to those options, custom license plates are extremely affordable. Of course, the costs add up over time. Since custom license plates cost an additional $47 a year for registration in Illinois, you’ll end up paying hundreds of dollars in the long run. But $470 over 10 years shouldn’t be too big a deal.
