I am in IL myself, and here's the CORRECT answer. You can go to the Secretary of State's Drivers Service facility in your area (same place you go to get a new driver's license) and get the appropriate sticker. It won't cost any more than it normally would...$78 if you have normal plates, $85 if you have personalized plates. There's no penalty for coming in late.
As far as the penalty for having an expired sticker if you get stopped by a police offcer...unless you're getting pulled over for something else besides the sticker, and you aren't being a jerk with the cop, and the cop's not having a bad day, then normally the cop will write a citation that will waive the fine if you get the sticker within X amount of time (1-2 days). You'll have to buy the sticker, put it on, go to the county courthouse, or whatever facility is applicable in your area (the cop will say where to go), and show proof of compliance to get out of paying the extra fine. Otherwise, the fine is around $75 and might be higher depending on exactly where you live in IL (plus, obviously, you'll still have to buy a sticker as well). So my advice is to go to the Sec. of State office Tuesday and get the sticker ASAP so you will avoid this.
Hope this helped.

Presuming you mean you have an expired registration, you could be looking at a fine around $75 (plus the additional court, magistrate, and other fees. You should be able to apply for a new registration without having to pay the fine, just the renewal fee. If you are stopped by a cop, he will most likely give you a non-moving violation of driving with improper registration. If you give him an attitude, I'm sure he can stack on a few more violations for you to pay.

There may not be a fine for renewing late, although there could be a late penalty fee. However, if you are stopped by the police, there will be multiple charges and fines, not to mention time lost on court appearances. Be first in the line at DMV Tuesday morning and avoid the grief.
