Let\u2019s be real about something today: how many of us depend on auto-renew, auto-pay, and auto-fix just about everything?\u00a0 In this day and age, when just about every inch of our lives is automated, how many of us think about subscriptions or deadline?\u00a0 You can pay your credit cards with automatic draft, you can pay your Netflix bill by recurring charge.\u00a0 Our water bills, electricity, insurance, mortgage, gym memberships; most of us have all these repeat payments set to engage on their own.<\/p>\n

And truthfully, this can be a real aid.\u00a0 Considering the ultra-busy lives so many of us lead, setting up an automatic process can save us the headache of lapsed insurance or missed installment. \u00a0Not for nothing, we know a thing or two about surprise late fees, and let\u2019s just say, it\u2019s not the kind of surprise we love.<\/p>\n

\"Paying<\/p>\n

So if all your bills and clubs are programmed to take care of themselves, so to speak, it\u2019s possible that one renewal may have slipped your mind. In and among all the other bills that magically<\/em> mind their business for you, comes the issue of registration renewal. Because renewing a vehicle registration cannot be set to autopilot, it\u2019s something that must be remembered and tended to in good time.<\/p>\n

Because we know that when it comes to details like DMV paperwork, things can sometimes get hairy.\u00a0 And here at eTags, we are expert detanglers, if you will!<\/p>\n

Even though you cannot set your vehicle registration to renew on its own \u2013 not everything can be Amazon Prime, right? \u2013 the Maryland Motor Vehicle Association (MVA) will send out a renewal notice to you approximately sixty (60) days before your registration is set to expire. The notice will be sent by mail (remember that old thing with envelopes and stamps?) and will include all the necessary and pertinent information regarding the renewal process.<\/p>\n

\"Maryland<\/p>\n

The MVA allows folks to choose whether they want to renew their registration for one year or for two years \u2013 the decision is entirely up to you.\u00a0 And if you happen to opt for a two-year reg and it turns out that you won’t be using the second year, there are possible refund options available to you as well.<\/p>\n

Also, it\u2019s nice to know that registrations can be renewed in Maryland in several different ways. If the vehicle ready for renewal is a passenger car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, or trailer with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 55,000 pounds or less, you have several methods of renewal open to you.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind though, that you (and your vehicle) must meet certain criteria.\u00a0 Those factors are:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
