Choose Method
Once you have received your renewal notice in the mail you will be able choose the method that you want to use in order to register your vehicle. One option is to go to the DMV and talk to the person behind the desk and get everything sorted out there. This used to be the only method that was available to you anytime you needed to get your car renewed and it often included standing in a long line for half the day. There is the option to go online and renew your car. If you have had your registration done in the state you are currently living in, then this is an option for you.
Fill In Information and Pay
If you choose to go online for your registration than you will need to just fill in all of the information that they ask from you. This might include your plate number, the VIN, and the year and make of your car. Once all of this is done you will be able to submit all of the information and pay for any fees associated with the registration.
Replace The New With The Old
Once you have received your new plates and decals in the mail, it is time to replace the old ones. If you just need to replace the decal than you will be able to just place it over the old one on your license plate. If you moved to a new state, or to a new area in the same state, you might have to replace your whole license plate to reflect the change.
