Pet Friendly License Plates
License Plate Design
The license plate (right) design has a puppy on the left side and a kitten on the right. It states
"I AM PET FRIENDLY" in the middle.
Cost Information
Pet Friendly License plates are now available as personalized or vanity plates. Fees vary based on
if the vehicle is new or currently registered, expiration date, and if personalized or vanity plates
are chosen. Please see the details
on the Secretary of State's webpage.
How Ordering the Plates Help Spay/Neuter Efforts
We encourage all Illinois residents to demonstrate their love for animals by ordering the available
pet-friendly license plate. The plate design will not only draw attention to pets but also will
financially help support spay/neuter programs. Each pet-friendly plate (new order or renewal)
generates $25 to the Spay/Neuter Fund. Only through spay/neuter programs can the pet overpopulation
problem be addressed. A Pet Overpopulation Control Fund Board will make recommendations for awarding
grants to animal organizations for spaying and neutering.
In April 2005, HSCI received a grant of $1,000. For the first-year of grant distribution, qualifying
pet organizations could apply for one of 50 $1,000 grants available. More funds should be available
as this program grows. HSCI, with its long history of spay/neuter programs, hopes to qualify for
larger grants with your help.
Availability and Ordering
Pet friendly license plates are multi-year and may be displayed on passenger vehicles, trucks, and
vans weighing 8000 pounds or less and Sports Utility Vehicles. To order or renew plates you have
several options:
a) Order forms and return envelopes are available in our office at the Pet Adoption Center.
For additional details, please visit the Secretary of State's website.
Specific questions may be directed to the Secretary of State's Office at (217) 785-5215.
