How can I renew my vehicle registration on myDMV?
Non-Login: Click the ‘Renew My Vehicle Registration’ button at the center of the home screen or the ‘Renew My Registration’ under the Vehicle Registration section. You should review the information in the Getting Started section and will need to acknowledge that you are not a robot before continuing to the next screen.
Can I change the month my registration expires?
My registration expires in July. Nearly every year I travel out of state in the summer. Can I change the expiration to something more convenient, like October?
Yes. At the next renewal, we can prorate the fees and renew for a minimum of 12 months and a maximum of 24 months, allowing you to select the month it will be due in future years.
Call us for the correct fees and renew by mail, or visit any location up to 2 months before the registration expiration month.
