How do i get the title to my car registered in illinois?
Find answers to your legal question.

I bought the car from a friend and he wrote me out a bill of sale stating that he would sign me over the title as soon as he got a new one because he lost the original. it has been almost a month now since he said he ordered the new one and now he is saying that he has to resubmit the paperwork because dmv lost it. the problem is we are in the military and he goes to korea in two weeks. is there something i can do to get it myself. it seems to me like he is just bsing me until he is gone and i dont want to get screwed.

Being a military retiree the best advice I can give you is do not walk, run, to the base legal office. He most likely still owes money on the car and that's the reason he isn't giving you the title. If it has a lien then his act of selling it to you is an act of fraud. He may be a buddy but when I was in the service one definition of a "Buddy" was a guy who would screw you over without even thinking about it. Don't let him get off the base without bringing it up to the base legal officer. Without the title you don't own that car.
