Find penalties for late registration fee payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) does not offer a grace period for paying your annual vehicle registration fees. Be sure to pay your renewal fees on or before the expiration date shown on your current registration card, or DMV will charge penalties. Even though your license plates display only the month and year, your registration expires on a specific day<\/strong>. Be sure to check the registration card for the actual expiration date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do not receive a billing notice approximately 60 days before your vehicle\u2019s registration expires, contact\u00a0Customer Service<\/a>\u00a0or use the\u00a0 Fee Calculator<\/a>\u00a0to find out what your fees are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The longer you delay payment, the greater the penalty amount will be. Penalty fees are assessed in addition to any other fees due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
