Registration Renewal

Required Information

Old Registration: Bring previous registration for verification

​

Renewal Notice: Typically, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) sends a renewal notice several weeks before the expiration date. This notice includes important information such as the renewal fee and any additional requirements like a smog check.

​

Smog Certification: If your vehicle is subject to smog inspection, ensure you have a valid smog certificate from a DMV-approved station. The requirement for a smog check depends on the vehicle type, age, and area of registration.
