Subsection 7.1: How to Expedite Your Duplicate Title
Obtaining a duplicate title quickly can be crucial if you’re facing a deadline for selling your vehicle, registering it in another state, or addressing legal requirements. Below, we outline the methods available to expedite your application and explain how J.G. Title Company offers a superior, stress-free alternative to the standard process.
Expedited Title Options
There are three primary methods for expediting your duplicate title:
Using the State of Illinois Portal
The Illinois Secretary of State provides an online portal where you can begin the title application process. However, this portal is limited to generating the application (Form VSD 190), which must still be printed, signed, and submitted in person at an SOS office or by mail. Final processing cannot be completed online, adding extra steps to the process.Processing Time: Up to 10 weeks for in-person submissions; up to 12 weeks by mail.
Effort Required: You must personally handle every step, including ensuring the application is filled out correctly, visiting the office or mailing it, and following up with the SOS office if issues arise.
Direct Mail with Priority Shipping
Expedited mail options like USPS Priority Mail, FedEx, or UPS can shave off some processing time, ensuring the state receives your application faster. However, this option only speeds up delivery and not the internal processing time at the SOS.Processing Time: 10-12 weeks, with minor time savings from expedited shipping.
Effort Required: You are still responsible for completing and mailing the application accurately.
