Hours Extended for Vehicle Sticker Sales

SPRINGFIELD –– Secretary of State Jesse White today announced expanded operating hours at motor vehicle facilities to accommodate the large number of car and truck owners who have license plate registrations expiring June 30.

"The end of June will be a very busy time, especially for B- truck sticker sales," said White. "Extending our office hours for sticker sales is a special service to help those motorists meet the June 30 deadline, which will not be extended."

Stickers will be issued to passenger car, B-truck, small trailer and flat weight truck and trailer owners who have registrations expiring in June. In Springfield, stickers may be purchased at the Howlett Building, Second and Edwards streets, and the Dirksen Parkway facility, 2701 S. Dirksen Parkway.
