SPRINGFIELD Passenger car and B-truck owners who have license plates expiring in December can purchase renewal stickers with a touch tone telephone and a credit card, Secretary of State Jesse White said today. "TouchTone Renewal" allows all motorists receiving pre-printed renewals to order stickers conveniently, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
White also said passenger car and B-truck owners can buy their December 2001 renewal stickers at 117 secretary of state license facilities, five secretary of state mobile units or at financial institutions that sell stickers. Stickers may be purchased at about 2,500 financial institutions statewide for a slight additional fee.
It is now too late to mail applications and guarantee delivery of new stickers before the Dec. 31 expiration date. Anyone driving a vehicle on or after Jan. 1, 2001, with an expired December 2000 sticker will be subject to a $75 fine for improper registration.
Pre-printed renewal applications have been mailed to 583,848 passenger car and B-truck owners who renew their registrations in December.
The white on red sticker is attached to the back of the ID card. To protect your sticker from theft, remove the old stickers before placing the new sticker on the rear plate.
