City Stickers and Guest Passes
Quick Links
Who Needs a City Sticker?
If you live in Chicago and own a vehicle, you are required to purchase a city sticker from the City Clerk. This includes Chicago residents who maintain their vehicle registration out of the city, but use their vehicles in Chicago.
If you live in a residential permit zone, you can also add the zone number to your city vehicle sticker and access daily guest passes.

How Do I transfer my city sticker to a new vehicle?
