Renew at the DMV without going in
Renew a registration at the kitchen table instead of standing in line.
Many states let you renew a vehicle registration, and often a driver’s license, on the DMV website.
Your renewal notice says whether yours qualifies. Have it, the plate number and a card beside you.
Key points
- Many states let you renew a registration online, from the notice
- The state’s own DMV site ends in .gov
What to remember
- The renewal notice carries everything the site asks for.
- The DMV’s own site ends in .gov. The rest are middlemen.
