You may renew vehicle and vessel registrations up to three months in advance of the expiration date. Registrations expire at midnight on the first listed owner’s birth date, unless the owner is a business or the vehicle is a heavy truck. Trucks over 5,000 pounds expire June 30 or December 31 depending on term selected when the truck was first registered. Company owned vehicles expire on the date the vehicle was first registered.
Most registrations can be renewed for a period of either one to two years. Vehicles registered to active military personnel and eligible for the discounted annual DMV fee can only be renewed for one year.

You may also choose to order a replacement if you already renewed but lost your plate sticker.
