All Vehicles: Titles, Fees and Registration Information
Registration on commercial, non-commercial, trailers, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and boats are done on a staggered licensing system based on the first letter of the owner’s last name or in the case of a business on the beginning letter of the business’ name. We accept cash, check or credit card/debit card (service fees apply). A driver’s license, Social Security Number, or FEIN is REQUIRED for at least ONE owner of vehicle to renew. The registration renewal reminder card that is mailed from the state is also acceptable but not required.
Licenses are renewable up to 90 days before assigned month (in person or by mail).
