Selling a used car as an Illinois dealer: the paperwork

Illinois’s main title and registration application, VSD 190, isn’t a downloadable form: it’s generated through the state’s Electronic Registration and Title (ERT) system or obtained in person. Below are the other official forms a dealer in Illinois works with, from the Illinois Secretary of State, linked straight to ilsos.gov.

They’re split into forms for nearly every sale and forms for specific situations. Every link is checked weekly.
