Illinois automatically allows a one-month grace period to renew license stickers, but anyone who didnât receive a reminder for expiring October 2015 registration â and didnât renew their plates â probably owes a late fee in addition to the annual registration fee.
Grace Periods: Some States Have âEm, Others Donât. The length of grace periods varies from state to state. Iowa, Oklahoma, and Colorado each give you one month after your registration expires, while Texas gives you only five days. Other states have no grace period at all. Be sure to check where your state stands on registration renewal grace periods so you can avoid getting a traffic ticket.
