Vehicle History Reports

How to look up a license plate in Illinois?

Buying a used car without checking its history is risky. Avoid costly surprises—use our Illinois License Plate Lookup tool to reveal the vehicle’s past in seconds.

Find the License Plate

The first thing you need to do is find the license plate number. You may see it directly mounted on the vehicle, or ask the dealer for the plate number. 


Always verify the plate number using the vehicle documentation, just in case the plate is damaged or hard to read.

Enter the License Plate Number

Head to the Illinois License Plate lookup number to do the lookup. Enter the license plate and additional information like your email and phone number, and hit the “Search” button to continue.

Access A Detailed Vehicle History Report

Our system will generate the vehicle history report in under 30 seconds. You’ll get a downloadable vehicle history report including valuable details such as:

  • Accident and damage history

  • Odometer readings

  • Number of previous owners

  • Title and registration status

  • Any salvage, rebuilt, or flood branding report

If you don't have the license plate number, get the vehicle history by VIN.
