The Illinois Secretary of State’s office has announced that the color of Illinois license plate registration stickers for 2025 will be orange. This is a change from the previous year’s blue stickers. The new stickers will be issued beginning in January 2025.
The color of license plate registration stickers is changed every year to help law enforcement identify vehicles that have not been registered for the current year. Orange is expected to contrast well against most of the common car colors and hopefully stand out more against a license plate, making it easier for police to see if a vehicle is properly registered.
