the matter has been rectified by having the vehicle inspected
or by providing acceptable information why the vehicle cannot
be presented for inspection, allow three days for the suspension
to clear. Written verification that the suspension has been
terminated will be mailed to the last address on file with
the Illinois Secretary of State. Verification that the suspension
has been terminated can also be obtained by calling the
Illinois Secretary of State at (800) 252-8980.
Seven-Day Trip Permits: Seven-Day Trip Permits
can be issued by the Illinois Secretary of State for the
purpose of providing temporary authorization to operate
vehicles after the vehicle registration has been suspended
for non-compliance with the emission inspection requirements.
A Seven-Day Trip Permit only allows vehicles to be driven
to a repair facility and to an emission inspection station.
The permit is not used for general transportation.
Seven days should be sufficient time to have the vehicle
repaired and inspected. If additional time is required,
another Seven-Day Trip Permit can be purchased for $10.00
per permit. The trip permits are issued by any full-service
Illinois Secretary of State facility. Bring the applicable
fee and the most current vehicle registration when applying
for the permit. Any questions regarding the trip permit
can be directed to the Office of the Illinois Secretary
of State at (800) 252-8980.
