3 | or the owner's designee. A certificate of title or a duplicate | ||||||
4 | certificate of title issued by another State showing an | ||||||
5 | Illinois address for the owner cannot be used to transfer | ||||||
6 | ownership of a vehicle, except if the transfer is to or from an | ||||||
7 | insurance company or a lienholder of the vehicle through | ||||||
8 | repossession. | ||||||
9 | (b) The Secretary of State shall not issue a duplicate | ||||||
10 | certificate of title to any person within 15 days after the | ||||||

21 | mutilated or destroyed or becomes illegible, the owner or | ||||||
22 | legal representative of the owner named in the original | ||||||
23 | Display certificate of title and in the certificate of title, | ||||||
24 | as shown by the records of the Secretary of State, shall | ||||||
25 | promptly make application for and may obtain a duplicate upon | ||||||
26 | furnishing information satisfactory to the Secretary of State. |

2 | legend "Duplicate Display Certificate of Title." It shall be | ||||||
3 | mailed to the owner or legal representative of the owner named | ||||||
4 | in the original Display certificate of title and in the | ||||||
5 | certificate of title. Such duplicate Display certificate of | ||||||
6 | title shall be attached and displayed in the same manner and in | ||||||

23 | through repossession. The owner of a vehicle with a | ||||||
