Section 2010.80  Renewals for Boat and Snowmobile Registration

a)         Renewal fees for boats shall be as set out in Section 3-2 of the Boat Registration and Safety Act [625 ILCS 45/3-2].

b)         Renewal fees for snowmobiles shall be $18 for a 3 year period.

c)         Persons wishing to renew three year registrations via the Internet or the 1-800 phone system:

1)         Must:

A)        Make the renewal through the Department's Internet Home Page or by phoning a Department approved 1-800 telephone number.

B)        Using the existing registration card, enter the IL registration number, HULL ID, and Use Code registered for the craft/snowmobile.

C)        Enter necessary address change information.

D)        Make payment via electronic commerce (example:  credit card).

2)         May be charged a convenience fee by the contract service provider, set pursuant to the competitive bidding procedures of the Illinois Procurement Code [30 ILCS 500] to cover the cost of the transaction, including mailing and handling fees.  Renewals may be accomplished by mailing the application accompanied by check or money order with no convenience fee charges.  Mail-in renewals take 2-3 weeks processing time, plus delivery through the mail.

3)         At the conclusion of the transaction, will immediately receive a transaction confirmation number or new Internet registration card.  This affords the person the ability to then immediately pursue boating or snowmobile activities.  Both the Internet and phone systems offer immediate registration verification for law enforcement.
