If you’re getting close to time to renew your registration, you probably wonder how much longer you can go. Don’t go by the date on your license plates. Your plates list the month and year but don’t have the day that your registration expires. Instead, look at the registration card to get the date. Renew by that date or earlier if you wish. Many California residents choose to renew early, so they don’t accidentally forget and have to pay fees.

You’ll be assessed a penalty if you fail to renew your registration on time. The penalty includes a late registration fee, a percentage of the vehicle license fee, and a California Highway Patrol fee. The fees get higher the longer you wait to renew and max out when the registration is two years late or more. You can avoid these penalties by renewing online today. If you’re already late, you should also renew today, so the fees don’t increase.

Don’t wait in long lines at the DMV. You can request a new sticker using the online registration portal. Submit your information and it will be mailed to you in five business days.
