What does nontransferable mean on my vehicle registration document?

Question

My car is registered in New york but I moved to illinois. I am still paying on the car. does that mean i cannot get the tags changed over to illinois?

Answer 1

No, it means you can't sell (transfer) the vehicle to someone else.  (because there is a lien on it) It has nothing to do with switching "tags" to Illinois

Answer 2

you should,once you pay for registration,proof of ins. in IL

Answer 3

The third answer is correct.

The vehicle has a title issued by another state and is being held by the leinholder. Any state you register the vehicle can only create a registration for you and not a title therefore preventing you from trying to sell the vehicle.
