For most typical vehicle owners in Florida, an extended vehicle registration of two years is available, but requires a double payment of the fees. There are some exceptions where a registration must be completed annually. For example, if the vehicle has a restricted plate. Depending on the county, you may or may not get notice regarding renewing your vehicles registration prior to your birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 21.0pt; margin: 0in 0in 21.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; color: #333333;\">With etags.com now offering registration renewal service in Florida, you\u2019ll have full-control and automation online each year for your vehicle renewal.

But why waste half or even a whole day at the DMV for a couple of decals and a piece of paper? On our website, having your insurance policy number and the insurance company\u2019s name is sufficient to complete your registration renewal. Additionally, your cars plate number, vehicle owner information, and a credit card or debit card to process the payment is all that is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"line-height: 21.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in 21.0pt 0in;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; color: #333333;\">Do You Get New Plates When You Renew Your Registration?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 21.0pt; orphans: auto; text-align: start; widows: 1; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in 21.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; color: #333333;\">Florida only requires a car owner to change the plates every 10 years. Your vehicle registration renewal simply involves new stickers and a registration certificate. Go to etags.com and in just a few minutes, you can renew your registration and receive your sticker and registration certificate in the mail. A copy of the registration certificate will be emailed in secured PDF format and your hard copy will be shipped about 300% faster than the DMV. If you\u2019re driving with expired tags, you can simply print out your PDF as a temporary copy to place in your car until your new plate decal and renewed registration have arrived.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You never want to drive around with an expired registration; if you&#8217;re pulled over by law enforcement you can get a fine of up to $500 not to mention jail time. Fines and penalties depend on how long you&#8217;ve been driving around without renewing your license plate and sticker. An expired registration of 6 months or less is considered a traffic infraction<\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height: 21.0pt; margin: 0in 0in 21.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; color: #333333;\">Spending hours in line, waiting for your number to be called at the DMV is no way to spend your birthday.
