    (625 ILCS 5/3-405)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 3-405)


    Sec. 3-405. Application for registration. 

    (a) Every owner of a vehicle subject to registration under 
this Code shall
make application to the Secretary of State for 
the registration of such
vehicle upon the appropriate form or 
forms furnished by the Secretary.
Every such application shall 
bear the signature of the owner
written with pen and ink and 
contain:


        1. The name, domicile address, as defined in Section 
    1-115.5 of this Code,
bona fide residence (except as 
    otherwise provided in this
paragraph 1) and mail address of 
    the owner or
business address of the owner if a firm, 
    association or corporation.  If
the mailing address is a 
    post office box number, the address listed on the
driver 
    license record may be used to verify residence.
A police 
    officer, a deputy sheriff, an elected sheriff, a law 
    enforcement
officer for the Department of State Police, or 
    a fire investigator may elect to
furnish
the address of the 
    headquarters of the governmental entity or police district

    where he or she
works instead of his or her domicile

    residence address, in which case that address shall
be 
    deemed to be his or her domicile
residence address for all 
    purposes under this
Chapter 3.
The spouse and children of a 
    person who may elect under this paragraph 1 to
furnish the 
    address of the headquarters of the government entity or 
    police
district where the person works instead of the 
    person's domicile
residence address may,
if they reside 
    with that person, also elect to furnish the address of the

    headquarters of the government entity or police district 
    where the person works
as their domicile
residence address, 
    in which case that address shall be deemed to be
their 
    domicile
residence address for all purposes under this 
    Chapter 3.
In this paragraph 1: (A)
"police officer" has 
    the meaning ascribed to "policeman" in Section 10-3-1 of

    the Illinois Municipal Code; (B) "deputy sheriff" means a 
    deputy sheriff
appointed under Section 3-6008 of the 
    Counties Code; (C) "elected sheriff"
means a sheriff 
    commissioned pursuant to Section 3-6001 of the Counties 
    Code;
and (D) "fire
investigator" means a person classified 
    as a peace officer under the Peace
Officer Fire 
    Investigation Act.


        2. A description of the vehicle, including such 
    information as is
required in an application for a 
    certificate of title, determined under such
standard 
    rating as may be prescribed by the Secretary.


        3. Information
relating to the
insurance policy for the 
    motor vehicle, including the name of the insurer which 
    issued the policy, the policy number, and the expiration 
    date of the policy.


        4. Such further information as may reasonably be 
    required by the
Secretary to enable him to determine 
    whether the vehicle is
lawfully entitled to registration 
    and the owner entitled to a certificate
of title.


        5. An affirmation by the applicant that all information 
    set forth is
true and correct. If the
application is for 
    the registration of a motor vehicle, the applicant also

    shall affirm that the motor vehicle is insured as required 
    by this Code,
that such insurance will be maintained 
    throughout the period for which the
motor vehicle shall be 
    registered, and that neither the owner, nor any
person 
    operating the motor vehicle with the owner's permission, 
    shall
operate the motor vehicle unless the required 
    insurance is in effect.  If
the person signing the 
    affirmation is not the sole owner of the vehicle,
such 
    person shall be deemed to have affirmed on behalf of all 
    the owners of
the vehicle.  If the person signing the 
    affirmation is not an owner of the
vehicle, such person 
    shall be deemed to have affirmed on behalf of the
owner or 
    owners of the vehicle. The lack of signature on the 
    application
shall not in any manner exempt the owner or 
    owners from any provisions,
requirements or penalties of 
    this Code.

    (b) When such application refers to a new vehicle purchased 
from a
dealer the application shall be accompanied by a 
Manufacturer's Statement
of Origin from the dealer, and a 
statement showing any lien retained by the
dealer.
