Renewing Your Vehicle and/or Trailer Registration
Renewing your vehicle and/or trailer registration can, in most cases, be completed online,
at any of PennDOT's On-Line Messenger services or through the mail.
To renew online you will need your plate number, title number, insurance information,
and a valid credit card. At the end of the transaction, you will be given the opportunity to print a receipt and a temporary registration credential.
Your permanent registration card and sticker will arrive in the mail within 7 to 10 business days.
Fees
Passenger vehicle renewal fees are $36.00. There is a reduced processing fee for individuals who qualify for retired
status.
If you are renewing a truck, the registration fee will vary depending on the
registered gross weight.
