Registration Renewal

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.
