What St 556 is and how it works
St 556 is an Illinois vehicle transaction tax document used to record information about a vehicle sale or transfer and the related tax responsibility. The preparer enters the vehicle, purchaser, seller, and transaction details, reviews the calculated information, and signs the completed record. With signNow, the preparer uploads St 556, reviews detected fillable fields, assigns signature fields, sends it to the required signer, and stores the completed PDF with an audit trail. The signed record does not replace any Illinois agency filing or payment requirement.

Use signNow SMS OTP or another available authentication control when the signer’s identity needs stronger evidence. Keep the completion certificate and audit trail with St 556 to document the signing event.
