Why become
a License Stop vendor? |
- Each renewal generates additional profits
for your business.
- New customers are brought into your store.
- Customers purchase other products during their
visit to renew their plates.
|
How does my customer
benefit? |
- Convenience. With License Stop locations spread
across Illinois, the customer has many options
where to renew compared to having to drive miles
to the nearest DMV office. Plus, our vendors
offer to renew plates according to their regular
business hours, not the limited hours of the
DMV offices. In many instances, the customer
can renew anytime of the day and any day they
wish. That is convenience!
- Saves Time. Renewing at a License Stop location
saves time because there are no long lines.
The renewal process only takes two minutes!

cartridges will not be acceptable.
|
Am I required
to sign a long-term contract with License Stop? |
- Your company is not bound by a long-term contract.
Participation is voluntary. You can stop renewing
any time.
|
How
does the electronic renewal process work?
|
- The customer presents the Vehicle Registration
Renewal Notice from the State of Illinois to
your staff member. Only three items on the notice
need to be input into the computer:
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- License Plate Number
- Plate expiration date
- Your staff verifies with the customer that
his/her vehicle matches the data on the computer
screen.
- You collect the state renewal fee plus a
convenience fee of no more than $5.50.
- Your staff hands the state supplied sticker
to the customer.
- Transaction completed in less than 2 minutes!
|
| How
do funds change hands? |
- An electronic funds transfer account is setup
with your bank; this account is where you will
deposit funds collected from renewals.
- CVR, on behalf of the Secretary of State,
logs all renewals taking place at your facility
on a daily basis. Two days later CVR electronically
withdraws the amount collected from your customers
for the state renewal fees.
- Monthly, CVR sends you a report verifying
the number of transactions taking place at your
facility for the prior month. Seven to ten days
later, CVR electronically withdraws from your
account an amount equal to the number of renewal
transactions performed multiplied by the CVR
transaction fee.
- All withdrawals come from monies previously
collected.
|
What support
do I get? |
- Lifetime training for you and your staff,
and 800 support
|
| Can I advertise
the Program? |
- Absolutely. Your enrollment includes participation
in the Renewal Program plus official License
Stop marketing materials and training.
|
How are transactions
completed if my computer, the internet, or the
State of Illinois’ website goes down? |
- Unfortunately, you will not be able to complete
the transaction for your customer in the event
you cannot access the State electronic files.
Advise your customer to come back later or take
his/her name and telephone number and call them
when you are able to reconnect.
|
Does my company
incur any liability by becoming a vendor? |
- You are responsible for the safe keeping of
the license sticker.
- If you agree to take checks for the renewal
transactions you will assume the collection
risks normally associated with check cashing.
|
| What
should I do if a sticker is damaged or unusable
for any reason? |
- Unusable/damaged stickers must be returned
to the Secretary of State. Instruction is provided
during installation.
|
| What
do I do if a sticker is lost or stolen? |
- You must file a police report immediately
and send a copy to the Secretary of State. Failure
to reasonably safeguard this inventory can result
in removal from the Renewal Program and fines
up to $78 per sticker.
