| Boilerpipe Text | This site allows you to RENEW a current registration online by paying your local excise tax, state motor vehicle registration fee, and a small fee for this online service.
New registrations or registrations that have been expired more than 7 months require visiting your municipal office to pay excise tax. If your municipal office is able to complete the registration process, they will do so. If your municipal office cannot complete the registration process, they will instruct you to visit a
Motor Vehicle Branch Office
, where your registration will be completed.
If you reside in an unorganized territory, the complete registration process can be done at a
Motor Vehicle Branch Office
in person.
New Plate Design
On May 1, 2025 the Bureau of Motor Vehicles began replacing the existing Chickadee plate with a new Pine Tree plate design. Rapid Renewal customers will have the option to reserve their existing plate number when completing their registration renewal. Customers from towns that don't participate in Rapid Renewal will be able to reserve their existing plate number using a Standalone Reservation process.
