7 Day Vehicle Permit PDF Details

The 7-Day Vehicle Permit is an Illinois form that authorizes temporary movement of unregistered vehicles. It covers two scenarios: a 30-day permit for non-residents transporting a vehicle across state lines, and a 7-day permit for intrastate movement within Illinois. The permits are printed by authority of the Illinois Secretary of State and must be ordered by mail.

Who Is Eligible?

The permit is available to vehicle buyers who have not yet completed registration. Non-Illinois residents who purchase a vehicle in the state can use the 30-day drive-away version. Illinois residents moving a newly purchased or transferred vehicle within the state may apply for the 7-day intrastate version. Both versions require the vehicle to travel under empty weight only.

Required Documents

When applying for the permit, you will need the following information ready:

• Purchaser's full name and address
• Vehicle identification number (VIN)
• Vehicle make, model, and year
• Dealer or agent number
• Proof of vehicle insurance coverage
• Purchaser's signature

Permit Duration and Conditions

The intrastate permit is valid for 7 days from the date of issue. The non-resident drive-away version provides a 30-day window for out-of-state movement. The permit must be visibly displayed in the vehicle at all times. Driving after the permit expires may result in fines or vehicle impoundment under Illinois traffic law.
