Vehicle registration renewal
Vehicle registration expires each year and must be renewed. Your registration card and license plate will provide the month of expiration. The registration expires the last day of the month. You may renew your registration in person, online or through the mail.

To renew your registration in person, find an office to locate your nearest deputy registrar.

- Passenger vehicles (cars and trucks)
- Motorcycles and mopeds

You will need the following information to renew online:
