All vehicles in Illinois must be titled and registered if they travel on the roadways. This includes motorcycles, scooters, and mopeds.

Title and Registration

The process to register a scooter or moped is the same as for motorcycle registrations. You must complete Form VSD-190, available only at your local Secretary of State office, and submit the appropriate documentation and required fees and taxes. It costs $38 to register a moped or scooter and $65 to title it.

License to Ride

You'll need to carry a Class L driver's license to ride a moped or scooter, as long as the engine displacement is less than 150 cubic centimeters. If the displacement is 150cc or more, you'll need a Class M license. Visit our Motorcycle License section for information about how to apply for these licenses.
