Avoid a Traffic Ticket
Failing to renew your registration on time can get pricey. For example, if you are pulled over, you’ll get a traffic ticket for having an expired car registration, so in addition to the registration late fees you'll pay the California DMV, you'll also have to cover the cost of the ticket. You might even have to make an appearance in court.
CA has several ways to renew a registration, including online, by mail, or in person, so you can complete your transaction right away.
