Renewal Information

Office | Internet | Mail
The following registration options apply
to cars, trucks, vans, snowmachines, ATVs, motorcycles, trailers
and boats. (Alaska does not title or register camper shells.) Please
begin the process early to assure that you have the new registration
before the current registration expiration date. All registrations
expire on the LAST day of the registration month. Alaska law
requires two license plates on passenger
vehicles, trucks and vans. If you do not have two plates, please apply for a new set of plates. Motorcycles
and trailers require one license plate.
Your address must be correct on
DMV records in order to renew over the Internet. The easiest way to know if
it is correct is whether or not you received a registration PRE-BILL
at your current address. If you did not, or if your pre-bill
was forwarded from your previous address, please do not
renew using our online services without first updating
the address. If your address is incorrect and you
are unable to update your address using this system, please renew
by mail. (See NOTE below)

NOTE: If your registration
is expired or due to expire within 30 days E-mail ALASKA DMV for
procedures. Please provide your current mailing
and residence addresses, along with the license plate number of the
vehicle you wish to renew.
RENEWAL OPTIONS:
If you use option #1, you
must have a valid MasterCard or VISA (credit card - not debit card)
and your ADDRESS MUST BE CORRECT BEFORE you
renew. Your registration and tab will be mailed within two
business days from successful renewal. Please E-mail ALASKA DMV if
you do not receive the items within 14 days.
