Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 1010 - CERTIFICATES OF TITLE, REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES › Subpart E - SPECIAL PERMITS AND PLATES › Section 1010.421 - Issuance of Temporary Registration Permits by Persons or Entities Other Than the Secretary of State

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) All
				entities authorized to issue Temporary Registration Permits (TRPs) must
				designate a single individual as the primary individual responsible for
				issuing, tracking and managing TRPs, 7-day permits, and/or 30-day permits. This
				individual shall be referred to as a Superuser and will act as the primary
				contact on behalf of the authorized entity and the Secretary of State
				(SOS).
b) All entities authorized
				to issue a TRP shall be issued a Superuser username by the SOS. The Superuser
				may designate to SOS additional issuers; however, only individuals with a valid
				username may issue a TRP from inventory allocated to each licensed entity. Each
				Superuser and additional issuer of the TRP system must sign a separate
				acknowledgment stating that the individual understands the processes and
				procedures governing TRP issuance, is 18 years of age or older, and understands
				that a violation of this Part or of any provision of the Illinois Vehicle Code
				related to issuing registrations may result in the Superuser, the additional
				issuer, and/or the authorized entity receiving a suspension or revocation of
				TRP privileges.
c) If the SOS
				determines that a Superuser, additional issuer, or authorized entity has
				permitted an unauthorized individual to issue a TRP on the Superuser's or an
				additional issuer's behalf, then the SOS shall suspend the authorized entity's
				access to the TRP program for a period of 30 days. Any entity that is found to
				have employed a Superuser or additional issuer who has violated this provision
				twice within 5 years shall have access to the TRP program denied
				permanently.
d) All Superusers and
				those designated by a Superuser as an additional issuer shall complete a free,
				annual training session including, but not limited to, the operations of the
				TRP system, the statutes pertaining to motor vehicle registration, TRPs, and
				this Part.
e) Prior to obtaining a
				Superuser username, a Superuser must complete in-person training. Going
				forward, the Superuser will be required to attend an online training annually.
				If a new additional issuer is created by the Superuser, that new user has 60
				days from the creation date to complete the online training. Going forward, an
				additional issuer must take the online training annually. Any Superusers or
				additional users who have committed any violations of this section in the past
				year may be required to take in-person training.
f) A licensed dealer under the Illinois
				Vehicle Code may void, within 15 days or 500 miles after the issue date of the
				TRP, a TRP that has been issued to a vehicle owner and corresponding vehicle,
				if the vehicle owner determines that the vehicle meets the requirements of
				Section 2L of the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act [815 ILCS
				505 ]. A licensed dealer under the Illinois Vehicle Code may void, within 15
				days after the issue date of the TRP, a TRP that has been issued to a vehicle
				owner and corresponding vehicle for any other reason allowed under State
				statute. A licensed dealer shall be required to retain documentation that the
				customer signs stating that he or she is returning the vehicle to the licensed
				dealer pursuant to Section 2L or another specified statutorily authorized
				reason. This disclosure shall be retained with all other statutorily required
				documentation pertaining to the licensed dealer's record keeping
				requirements.
g) A licensed dealer
				may not void a TRP for a vehicle owner and corresponding vehicle if the sole
				reason the vehicle is returned to the licensed dealer is the vehicle
				purchaser's inability to secure financing for the vehicle. If, after the TRP is
				issued, the vehicle purchaser is ultimately unable to secure financing and must
				return the vehicle, the licensed dealer must still transmit the appropriate
				title and registration fees to SOS and any applicable sales taxes to the
				Illinois Department of Revenue before another TRP may be issued to a new
				vehicle owner for the same vehicle.
h) In addition to the issuance of TRPs to
				specific applicants, the SOS may supply, upon request, TRP plates to the
				following for issuance by them, provided they have the necessary computer
				hardware, software and communication devices for accessing the SOS Internet
				site for the registration of TRP plates and titling:
1) Licensed vehicle dealers registered and in
				good standing with SOS. Each dealer may issue TRPs only to persons purchasing
				vehicles from that dealer and only after application for title and registration
				has been completed. All TRPs that are issued must be accompanied by a
				corresponding document number for the accompanying application for a
				certificate of title. All dealers receiving TRPs shall maintain records as
				required by 92 Ill. Adm. Code
				1019.40
				reflecting the information required for completion of the receipt form for a
				TRP plate. Failure to do so may result in the denial, revocation, or suspension
				of a dealer's license under IVC Section 5-501.
2) Licensed remittance agents registered and
				in good standing with the SOS. Each remittance agent may issue TRPs only to
				persons whose applications the remittance agent accepts for transmittal to SOS.
				All TRPs that are issued must be accompanied by a corresponding document number
				for the accompanying application for a certificate of title. All Remittance
				Agents receiving TRPs shall maintain records reflecting the information
				required for completion of the receipt form for a TRP. Failure to do so may
				result in the denial, revocation, or suspension of a Remittance Agent's license
				under IVC Sections 3-906 and 3-907.
3) Currency exchanges licensed by, and in
				good standing with, the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
				Currency exchanges shall complete and submit an application in a manner
				prescribed by the SOS to be eligible to receive TRPs. Each currency exchange
				may issue TRPs only to persons whose applications the currency exchange accepts
				for transmittal to SOS. A TRP may only be issued in connection with an
				application for title and registration or registration only, but may not be
				issued in connection with an application for renewal of a registration. All
				TRPs that are issued must be accompanied by a corresponding document number for
				the accompanying application for a certificate of title. All currency exchanges
				receiving TRPs shall maintain records of their issuance reflecting the
				information required for completion of the receipt form for a TRP
				plate.
