Registration Renewal

For registration renewal, submit the renewal notice.  If the renewal notice was lost or not received, the registered owner must provide the vehicle license plate number and current driver's license or ID card so the staff can access state records and issue your tabs.  The vehicle must be in your name to purchase tabs. If the vehicle is not registered in your name you will need a power of attorney document or written authorization from the registered owner of the vehicle. Fees vary according to classification and year of vehicle.
