License plate sticker renewals

You can now renew your Illinois license plate at Sugar Grove Public Library! Stop by the Circulation Desk to purchase your vehicle sticker in just minutes. This service is available seven days a week, from opening until 30 minutes before closing.

What to Bring

Your Illinois vehicle registration renewal notice sent by the Secretary of State, current registration card or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

Your current driver’s license or state ID

If your vehicle is due for an emissions test or you do not have a valid driver’s license, we will not be able to process your renewal. We cannot make stickers for previous years.

Service Fee

Generally, the cost is $151 per sticker, but the sticker cost depends on the type of license plate you are renewing, plus a $9.50 service fee for each sticker.

Accepted form of payment: Cash only. We do not currently accept credit cards for license plate sticker renewals. We will not accept checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I purchase a license plate sticker for a family member?

A family member can only purchase a sticker if the address listed on their ID is the same as what is listed on the vehicle’s registration.

Can I change the address on my registration?

Yes, you can only change the address on your registration to match the address listed on your driver’s license. If the address on your driver’s license is incorrect, we cannot change the address on your registration, but we can still issue the sticker.. 

Notary Service Available

Sugar Grove Public Library now offers notary public service at the Adult Reference Desk for simple documents requiring signature verification.

Please bring a current photo ID with you so we can verify your identity. There is no charge for the Library's notary service.

We recommend calling ahead to make sure a notary will be available and to check whether we can notarize your document.

• I-9 forms
• Mortgages, deeds, or real estate closing documents
