\nPennsylvania is the 5th most populous state, with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh having the most population. The 33rd largest U.S. state has a little over 9 million licensed drivers.<\/p>\n

Part of your duty as a driver in Pennsylvania is to renew your car registration on time, making sure you follow the rules set by PennDOT. Driving with an expired registration can result in an expensive ticket, if caught by a cop. Of course, you don\u2019t want to get in trouble with law enforcers, so the best choice is to renew your registration with the BMV.<\/p>\n

As any other driver, you\u2019ll be getting a PA registration renewal notice in the mail. If you haven\u2019t gotten a notice, you can always\u00a0fill out a Request for Registration (Form MV-140) and mail it to the BMV in the address below:<\/span><\/p>\n

For the most part, it\u2019s better to act proactively to avoid any potential hassle during your renewal period. A simple way to ensure you get your vehicle renewal notice on time is to verify that the BMV has the right address information on record.<\/p>\n
