    Renewal

    Each automobile’s papers have to be renewed. The due date is specified on the stickers. The DOT sends you a renewal notice nearly a month prior to the deadline. However, it is recommended to undergo the renewal six months before the due date.
    In general, there are three options you may use to renew the documents. First of all, you can go to the DOT’s website and submit an online request. However, not everyone can apply for online services. You have to provide the notice with a PIN (personal identification number) printed on it as well as a VIN number and valid debit or credit card to process the charges.
    Another option is to submit your request via mail. Actually, there is no such difference. You have to collect the following papers and mail it to the address specified at the end of the article. The required records are:
    • Form 184 (in case you have not received the notice)
    • Tax receipts
    • Copy of proof of identity
    • Financial Responsibility/Insurance Proof certificate
    • Cheques of applicable payments
    You have to have your automobile or motorcycle inspected and emissions checked.
    And of course, you may proceed with the in-person application. You have to just take the above-mentioned documents with you to the DOT office and fill out the request form. Later, make the payments and wait for the new stickers.

    Fees and Applicable Payments

    The applicable payments are as follows:
    • $6 title processing charge
    • $6 processing (1 year)
    • $12 processing charge (2 years)
