Registration Renewal Fees

The CA DMV provides an Online Fee Calculator to help you decipher your registration renewal fees.

Fees vary based on a number of factors, including:

• The year, weight, and value of your vehicle.
• Special license plate fees.
• Local county or district fees.
• Delinquency fees, such as unpaid parking tickets, must be resolved before you can renew.

After renewing your registration, you may be eligible for a tax deduction on your vehicle license fee.

Late Fees, Penalties & Fee Refunds

The California DMV assesses fees and penalties for late renewals, as well as offers a renewal fee refund in the event that you leave the state before your renewal period.

Below you can find more on both of these provisions.

Late Fees & Penalties

The CA DMV does not offer any grace period for late renewals. If you miss the deadline, you will be subject to three types of late fees:

• A percentage of your standard renewal.
• A flat late fee.
• A flat California Highway Patrol (CHP) late fee.

Late fees are charged in addition to your regular renewal cost. These fees increase over time, getting more expensive the longer you delay—so make sure you renew on time!

Renewal Fee Refunds

If you renew your vehicle registration, but then move out of California BEFORE your new renewal period is set to begin, you may be eligible for a refund of those renewal fees.

Submit an Application for Refund (Form ADM 399) along with your vehicle's registration card and sticker to the address listed on the form.

Emissions & Smog Testing

Your renewal notice will indicate if you need an emissions test.

For additional information on exemptions, testing fees, locations, and what to do if your vehicle fails the test, visit our CA Smog Test Section.

Military Registration Renewal

If your vehicle's CA registration is expiring soon and you are deployed as a member of the armed services, you may be eligible to delay payment until you return.

To be eligible, you must:

• Be a member of the Armed Forces, Armed Forces Reserve, or National Guard.
• Be temporarily deployed outside the state and engaged in combat or homeland defense purposes.
• Not be deployed solely for training, processing, or permanent change of station purposes.
• Be only applying to have the fees that you incurred during your time of deployment waived.

To have any late fees waived, you must:

• Visit your local DMV office and follow the standard registration renewal procedures (see above).
• Complete a Statement of Facts (Form REG 256), indicating your active duty status and deployment dates.

You have 60 days from the time your deployment is terminated to apply for a penalty waiver. For more information contact the CA DMV at (800) 777-0133.

It's best to schedule an appointment with the CA DMV before visiting.

Non-Operational Vehicles

If you received a renewal notice for a vehicle that you do not plan on operating (e.g. drive, park, store, or have towed) on public roads for the entire registration year, you may apply for Planned Non-Operation (PNO) status to avoid paying renewal fees.

Apply for Planned Non-Operation Status

To apply for PNO status, you must do so either:

• On or before the day your registration expires
  OR
• Apply up to 90 days after your registration expires and pay all accrued late fees (see above)

To apply, either mark the designated PNO box on your renewal notice. Or:

• Complete a PNO Certification (Form REG 102)
• Complete an Affidavit of Non-Use(Form REG 5090), if you plan on canceling your insurance.

Mail your renewal notice or PNO Certification to the address provided on the documentation. Or mail to:

• Department of Motor Vehicles
• P.O. Box 942869
• Sacramento, CA 94269

You may file for PNO status up to 60 days before your registration expires. Thereafter, you will receive a PNO notice every year, which you may ignore until you plan to operate your vehicle again.

Vehicle Moving Permit

You may apply for a vehicle moving permit that allows you to move or park a car on public streets for one day.

This permit is intended to be used for things like getting your emissions tested or moving a vehicle from one storage place to another.

You will not have to pay any fees, as long as it's just for the day. To apply, visit your local DMV office and:

• Complete a Vehicle Moving Permit application.
• Pay all necessary renewal fees.

Regular Use Registration

You must re-register your vehicle if you plan to return it to the road. To do so, visit your local DMV office and:

Ca Dmv Registration Procedures Manual

• Follow the registration renewal steps described above.
• Pay all required renewal fees.

Replacement Registration Certificates, Stickers & License Plates

If at any time your registration certificate or stickers get lost, stolen, or damaged, you need to immediately replace them.

The same is true if you need to replace lost or stolen license plates.

This California DMV practice test has just been updated for October 2019 and covers 40 of the most essential road signs and rules questions directly from the 2019 official CA Driver Handbook. Prepare for the DMV driving permit test and driver’s license exam using real questions that are very similar (often identical!) to the DMV test. Each practice test question comes with a hint and explanation to help you remember the concepts. The written portion of the official DMV test will also cover information from the Driver Handbook and ask questions regarding rules of the road, traffic signs, and driving laws. You must answer 38 out of 46 questions correctly (or 30 out of 36 if you are over 18), to achieve the required 83% passing score. Use this DMV practice test as a helpful study aid towards getting your CA instruction permit or driver’s license. The DMV exam is offered in multiple languages, but to guarantee you have enough time to complete it, you may not start the test after 4:30 pm. The state has strict requirements for issuing instruction permits for minors; they can be found in the California Driver Handbook. The use of any kind of testing aid during the test will mean an automatic failure of the test, and the DMV may take additional sanctioning actions against your driving privilege, so please do not cheat.

How many knowledge test questions will I get?

The number of questions in the written part of the California driving test is different depending on how old you are.

• Under 18: 46 questions, 38 correct answers to pass.
• Over 18: 36 questions, 30 correct answers to pass.
• Senior applicant: 18 questions, 15 correct answers to pass.
