Renew your registration today. Walk out with the sticker.
Expired or not. Start it online and we'll have it waiting, or walk in and we'll do it while you stand there. About ten minutes, and you never see a DMV line.
Three steps, and two of them are ours.
Send it or bring it
Start online with your plate number, or walk in with your renewal notice. Either works.
We process it
Same day, on the spot. If there's a hold or a smog issue we'll tell you before you pay.
Sticker in hand
Pick it up at the counter or we can mail it. You're registered.
What to bring.
If you have the renewal notice, that plus payment is usually all it takes. No notice is fine too.
- Your renewal notice, or just the license plate number
- A photo ID
- Current proof of insurance
- Smog certificate if one is due — we can tell you in advance
- Payment for the DMV fees plus our service fee
Questions we get every day.
My tags expired months ago. Can you still help?
Do I need a smog check first?
I never got a renewal notice.
There's a hold on my registration.
Can I do the whole thing online?
What to know before you renew
You do not need the renewal notice. A plate number and photo ID are enough for us to pull the record.
What we check first is whether anything blocks the transaction: unpaid citations, toll violations, a reported insurance lapse, or a smog check that has come due. Any of those stop a Registration Renewal, and we would rather say so before taking payment than after.

Expired Registration is a large part of what we do. California penalties grow the longer a registration sits lapsed, so the cost rises with time, but there is no point at which we stop being able to help. Whether your tags expired last week or two years ago, bring the plate number in.
Smog catches people out most often. Most vehicles need a check every other year, newer cars are generally exempt for their first several years, and the requirement follows the vehicle rather than you. Give us the plate and we will tell you whether one is due before you pay for a test you did not need.
If you would rather not come in at all, start the renewal online. It takes about two minutes and we text you when the sticker is ready, rather than leaving you to wonder whether it went through.
Start your renewal now.
Plate number, a couple of details, and payment. We'll text you when it's ready.
