Do you have a DMV Question?

You can go into most DMV offices to pay for your license plate renewal. You will need to bring your license plate number, the last 5 digits of your vehicle identification number (VIN), and a renewal notice confirming your current address. You may also need to show proof of insurance.

The DMV office may have a waiting line, so it is a good idea to go early in the day or during a less busy time. You can also check the DMV website to see if they offer online or mail-in renewal options.

Here are some of the documents you may need to renew your license plate:

Your license plate number
The last 5 digits of your vehicle identification number (VIN)
A renewal notice confirming your current address
Proof of insurance
A completed registration renewal application form
A payment for the renewal fee
The renewal fee varies depending on the state you live in. In California, for example, the renewal fee for a passenger vehicle is $25.

If you are renewing your license plate online or by mail, you will need to print out a confirmation receipt. You should keep this receipt in your car in case you are pulled over by the police.

Renewing your license plate on time is important because it helps to ensure that your vehicle is legally registered. If your registration expires, you may be subject to fines and penalties.
