New State Law Extends Online Renewal Time for Expired Vehicle Registration

SAN ANGELO, TX –– A new state law is giving Texas drivers extra time to complete their vehicle registration online.

According to the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, House Bill 2152 allows online registration renewals up to 12 months past the expiration date. 

Previous laws only allowed drivers to renew expired registrations online up to nine months past the expiration date. As always, customers who renew late are responsible for paying for a full year of registration.

Drivers who renew online between 10 and 12 months after their registration expires will have the option to renew for both the past-due registration year and the next registration year at the same time.

While registration and local county fees will be doubled when registration is renewed for both years only one processing and handling fee will be charged.

To renew your registration online visit TxDMV.gov or Texas.gov.
