FAQS

When can I renew my plates?
Plates can be renewed at any time regardless of your renewal date. Upgrades within 6 months of your renewal date constitute an early renewal. In this case, your anniversary does not change.

Do I qualify for a two-year renewal?
You are eligible to order two-year plates if your renewal year and the year of your car are both even numbers or are both odd numbers. If you don't qualify this year, you would qualify the next year for a two-year renewal.

Who can I call for help?
If you have any questions, call the D.O.R., your local license office, or contact us.
