I don't know if it is the same in every county, but I received one for $35 in Cook County.
A vehicle just sitting with an expired registration is not a violation of the law. If the police officer had witnessed the vehicle in operation with an expired registration, then there would be a legal violation. Even if the vehicle wasn't there a couple hours earlier, the police officer has no way of knowing for sure that it was driven there, unless they actually saw it in operation. However, an abandoned vehicle, or a vehicle parked illegally, has the same status regardless of the registration.
If the registration card is current, and, it matches the tags on the car, you MAY get off with a warning but if not, the most you SHOULD receive is a ticket for 'displaying expired tags.' Unless something else is going on that is not disclosed in the question, (e.g.- the tags on the vehicle are NOT the tags assigned to it) they shouldn't be wanting to impound the vehicle .
They're probably not that bad, but you should pay them ASAP.
CVC 4000A1 is a term for expired vehicle registration. If one is issued a citation due to violating the CVC 4000A1, proof of paid registration and/or payment of any fines incurred must be done by the date specified in the citation received. Failure to do so could result in further action by the Court.
First, the car will likely get impounded because the tags are expired and the owner is not with the car. You can get a ticket as the driver. Drivers are responsible for not only how they drive but knowing what they drive can be legally on the road. An unregistered car shouldn't be on the road.
If it's parked or driven on a public roadway while the registration is expired, it will be.
The expired vehicle registration statute in Illinois is "Offenses Against Registration (625 ILCS 5/3-701 to 5/3-711)" available from the Illinois General Assembly's website at: http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs4.asp?DocName=062500050HCh.+3+Art.+VII&ActID=1815&ChapAct=625%26nbsp%3BILCS%26nbsp%3B5%2F&ChapterID=49&ChapterName=VEHICLES&SectionID=59333&SeqStart=50400000&SeqEnd=51800000&ActName=Illinois+Vehicle+Code.

It is a good idea to get your car registration renewed, it is against the law in most states to drive a vehicle with an expired registration, you are likely to get a ticket if caught on the road.
Yes you can.. but you have to tell the person your selling it to that its expired and you also have to give them a break on value..
yes the coverage is effective even though the registration is expired.
My best guess would be yes, if the vehicle is parked on street or where it can be seen from the street, you can receive parking tickets or have your vehicle impounded for having expired tags. But if registration requires current emissions testing, you'll have to put your vehicle in a garage or into some kind of storage facility. Check with the Illinois DMV to see if a "nonoperational" registration is available.
Go to a NJ DMV office with the old registration, proof of insurance and checkbook. Fill out the forms and the nice people there will give you a fresh document. If no registration exists take the vehicle title with you.
The expiration date will show on your vehicle's registration form.
The fine for expired registration in Ohio depends on how many days past the expiration for the registration is. If it is less than 10 days the fine will be 10% of the annual outstanding vehicle license fee. If the registration is over 30 days and less than a year the fees will be 60% of the registration fee.
