When tags are renewed, the record gets updated and your receipt is proof of registration. If your Arizona tags expire, there\u2019s a penalty fee of $8 and $4 each month registration is overdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s no penalty fee though if you can\u2019t renew due to failing emissions test, as long as you tried to renew tags before they were expired. Early registration renewal is also based on emissions testing; if a test isn\u2019t required from you, can renew tags up to six months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n<h1>Arizona Vehicle Registration Renewal Guide<\/h1>\n<h2>How To Renew A Car Registration In Arizona<\/h2>\n<p>The state of Arizona requires that all vehicles must be registered, but the state also requires most vehicles to undergo regular emissions inspections before the registration will be renewed.<\/p>\n<p>When you receive your registration renewal notice it will show whether or not an emissions test will be required. In most cases, drivers who commute regularly to the Tucson or Phoenix area will be required to get an emissions test for their vehicle, even if his or her renewal notice does not state that it is required. If you are unsure of whether or not you need to get an emissions test, call the number on your renewal notice to double check.<\/p>\n<h3>Options For Renewing Your Vehicle Registration In Arizona<\/h3>\n<p>There are 4 options for renewing your vehicle registration in the state of Arizona: by phone, online, by mail, or in person.<\/p>\n<p>To renew online you will need to do the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Complete an emissions inspection (if necessary).<\/li>\n<li>Go to the renewal page of the MVD (servicearizona.com).<\/li>\n<li>Enter the number located on your current registration or renewal notice.<\/li>\n<li>Enter the last 2 numbers of your VIN.<\/li>\n<li>Confirm that the information is right.<\/li>\n<li>Pay the renewal fee.<\/li>\n<li>Print your receipt (recommended).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To renew by phone you will need to complete the emissions inspection (if necessary) and then call 1-888-713-3031.
