How to Transfer a Kentucky Car Title to an Illinois Car Title
If you are a new resident of Illinois and your car is titled in Kentucky you only have 30 days to get your car title changed over to an Illinois car title. The Illinois Secretary of State handles all vehicle titling and registration for the state. To get your Illinois car title you have to give up your Kentucky car title to the Secretary of State and then your car will be re-titled in Illinois. The process to do so is very simple.
