Registration
Renewal By Mail or In Person
The
Division of Motor Vehicles mails a "pre-bill" or "mail-out" registration
application to the registered owner's last known address. This
is mailed approximately 30 days prior to the first day of the month
in which the vehicle registration is due to expire. The pre-bill
or mail-out identifies the vehicle, owner, and the applicable fees
due (registration, inspection and Motor
Vehicle Registration Tax (MVRT). For
this reason, it is very important that you keep your address current.
Completing a change of address card at the post office does not
assure that you will receive your renewal notice from the DMV.
You must advise the DMV directly of each vehicle and drivers
license record that needs to be changed.
To renew a registration
by mail, please return both copies of the signed form along with
the correct fees no later than the
5th day of the month in which the registration is due to
expire. Any address changes should be noted on both copies of the
form.
Applicants that apply in
person will need to bring either their last issued registration,
a pre-bill form or complete a Vehicle
Transaction Application and submit it along applicable fees
in order to renew the registration.
If an individual
has not mailed the "pre-bill" renewal form by the 5th day of
the month in which the registration is due to expire, it
may still be mailed; however, the completed registration
and tabs may not be received before the registration expires.
If an individual misses the mailing deadline, they or a representative
may apply in person or use our online service (shown
below) to renew the registration. Alaska
does not charge a late fee for renewals; however, an additional $10.00
additional registration fee will be
charged to persons who choose to renew their vehicle registration
in person at a DMV office.
