Licensing renewal

Re-registration of a vehicle is a necessary process to keep the vehicle legally registered and operational on state roads. Vehicle owners can renew their registration online, by mail, or in person at a California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. To renew the registration, vehicle owners need to pay a renewal fee and provide up-to-date vehicle information such as current mileage and vehicle identification number (VIN). Some vehicles may require additional inspections such as emissions tests. It is important to renew your vehicle registration before the expiration date to avoid unnecessary fines and delays.
