Illinois Secretary of StateFAQ client

When you donate your car in Illinois, you don't necessarily put any specific buyer's information on the title release form. Instead, you simply sign the title over to the organization receiving the donation. Be sure to remove the license plates before the car is towed away. You should then notify the Illinois Secretary of State by providing information about the vehicle, the license plate number, and the date it was donated using the online notice of vehicle sale form. This will release you from future liability connected to the vehicle. Always ensure to keep documents of your donation for your records and potential tax deductions.
