The current standard Illinois passenger license plate, introduced in 2017, features a white background fading to dark blue at the bottom, with dark red characters, centered with a silhouette of Abraham Lincoln. The design prominently features the word "Illinois" at the top and the "Land of Lincoln" slogan at the bottom.

Key Features of the Standard Plate:

Design: A red, white, and blue, fully graphic, multi-year baseplate.

Characters: Typically features a format of two letters followed by five numbers (AB 12345).

Slogan & Text: "Illinois" is in a script font at the top; "Land of Lincoln" is at the bottom.

Sticker Well: A single registration sticker well is located at the top right corner.

Availability: These plates are issued for passenger vehicles, SUVs, and trucks weighing 8,000 lbs or less.

Note: The state began transitioning to this red, white, and blue design from older, all-numeric, or blue-and-white designs starting around 2017, with current numbering formats often appearing in the "E" or "F" letter series.
