DMV: Registration Renewal

Registration Renewal

An invitation to renew your registration will automatically be mailed, to the address that we have on record for you, within 60 days prior to your expiration date.  Please read and follow the instructions that are included on the invitation.

The required renewal fee will appear on the invitation to renew.  If you are 65 years of age or older and wish to renew for one year, you must note in the correction box section that you wish to renew for one year and include the appropriate fee for a one year renewal.  Note: An additional $10 late fee is charged if the registration is not renewed within five days after the expiration date of the current registration.

If the invitation to renew indicates that there are municipal property taxes due from a certain town, you must provide proof of payment of the overdue municipal property tax (proof of payment is indicated when the tax collectors stamp is imprinted on back of the invitation).  Vehicles cannot be registered if delinquent property tax or parking tickets are owed or if the registrant has had his/her registration privilege suspended or if the vehicle is not emissions compliant.

Mail the invitation and required payment, in the return envelope provided. If the envelope is missing, mail your renewal to:


Department of Motor Vehicles
PO Box 150444
Hartford CT 06115-0444

Note:  Your registration will not be processed in person, it must be mailed to the address above.  Please do not mail other correspondence to this address.

If you did not receive an invitation to renew in the mail please click here or if your registration is expired, please contact the DMV Telephone Center for additional information.
