When you renew over the Internet, you do not pay the additional $10.00 registration fee. Only the actual fees that apply to your vehicle will be displayed on this system.  For example:  A non-commercial vehicle registration fee is $100.00.  If you renew in person at a State DMV office, the registration fee would be $110.00.

ADDRESS:

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS BEFORE YOU RENEW ONLINE
IF YOUR ADDRESS HAS CHANGED SINCE YOUR LAST RENEWAL

Your address must be correct on DMV records in order to renew over the Internet. If you renew over the Internet and your address is incorrect, there is a $5.00 fee to obtain a replacement tab if you do not receive the registration and tab.  The easiest way to know if it is correct is whether or not you received a registration PRE-BILL (renewal notice). If you did not, or if your pre-bill was forwarded from your previous address, please update your address before using our online services.

If you are renewing the registration on more than one vehicle, the address must be updated on each individual record as your records are not linked.

If you are leasing your vehicle, the registration and tab will be mailed to the address shown on DMV records. This is normally the mailing address of the leasing company as they are the legal owner of the vehicle. Please see the following information for renewal procedures: RENEWAL OPTIONS
