Alzheimer’s Association license plates are coming to Illinois. This is a incredible opportunity to raise funds as well as the profile of this critical cause and, in turn, mobilize our leaders in government and citizens to prioritize Alzheimer’s.
Funds generated by orders of the license plates aid the Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter Network in its mission to provide care, support, education and awarness programs throughout the state. After the initial year, $23 of the annual $25 renewal fee goes directly to the Alzheimer’s Association.
Frequently Asked Questions
What will the license plate look like?
The design of the plate will not be created until all of the reservations are acquired. At that time, the Alzheimer’s Association will work with the Secretary of State on the design that will feature the Alzheimer’s Association logo and the colors white and purple. We will share the design once it has been approved and is ready for production.
When will I receive my new license plate?
The Association must obtain 1,500 reservations before the Secretary of State’s office will begin production. We are estimating 6 to 9 months before the plates are distributed.
Why am I paying $11 now when the plate is $25?
The fee is a deposit to reserve an Alzheimer’s license plate. Once the State begins producing the plates, you will be charged the remainder of the cost plus a ONE-TIME charge of $29 to switch from a standard to specialty plate. The Alzheimer’s Association incurs a cost for charging credit cards – the additional $1 covers this service charge.
What happens if I have recently renewed my license plates and paid for a current sticker?
You will not be charged for a new sticker. When you receive your new plate, you will also receive a replacement sticker with the same expiration month.
Is there an additional charge if I want to personalize my plates?
Yes, if you do not request specific letters and/or numbers, the cost will be $25. If you request a personalized combination of letters and numbers, there will be an additional ONE-TIME fee of $47. If you request all letters or less than three numbers, you will be assessed an additional ONE-TIME fee of $94. At renewal, the cost, no matter what type you chose, will ONLY be $25.
When will I be able to personalize my plates and/or can I keep my current plate number?
Yes, after the 1,500 reservations have been obtained, the Secretary of State will send you a letter, at which time you will choose the kind of plate you want. You can also elect to keep your current license plate number.
