What if I renew late?

A late fee of $15 applies from the day after your birthday, and driving with an expired tag can lead to a citation.

I sold my car. What do I do?

Keep your plate, sign the title over to the buyer and file a notice of sale online within 30 days.

Can I register for two years?

Yes. Choose the two-year option when you pay; the fee doubles and you skip next year’s renewal.

01About this service

Register a vehicle in Leonida, renew its tag every year or transfer a title after a sale.

Annual tag renewals are online and arrive by mail with a new sticker. A vehicle bought out of state, or a private sale without a dealer, needs a title transfer at a DMV office.

Who it’s for

Owners of a car, truck, motorcycle or trailer kept in Leonida
Anyone who bought a vehicle from a private seller
New residents, within 30 days of moving to Leonida

02How it works

4 steps, start to finish.

Step 1: Find your renewal notice
It arrives by email and mail six weeks before your birthday. Your plate number is enough if you lost it.
Step 2: Confirm your insurance
Leonida checks your insurance electronically. Make sure your policy lists the vehicle identification number.
Step 3: Pay the registration fee
The fee depends on the vehicle’s weight. A receipt you can keep in the car is emailed at once.
Step 4: Put on the new sticker
Your sticker arrives within ten days. Place it on the top right corner of your rear plate.
