Tab
Renewals (Registration)
What
do I need to renew my tabs?
We will need your vehicle plate number or VIN number to access your
vehicle account. It would be helpful if you have your Vehicle Renewal
Notice on hand.
If you
are not the registered owner, then you will need the renewal
card, (which implies authorization) or a note of authorization from
the
registered owner.
Photo ID
Check
your renewal card carefully: do you need emissions test?
If your vehicle is between 5 years through 25 years old you will need
an emissions test every two years for tab renewal.
When doing a title transfer, the vehicle must have a current emissions
test that has been taken within the last calendar year.
Purchased
a new or used Vehicle?
All vehicles that will be used on public roads within the State of
Washington must be licensed. If you purchase your car, truck, camper,
motor home or other vehicle from a Washington dealer, the dealer will
transfer the title for you.
If you purchase your vehicle from a private party, you will need to
transfer the title yourself.
What
will I need?
- The
title properly released
- Documentation
of the purchase price
- Federal
odometer statement on vehicles less than 10 years old
- A
current emission test that is no more than 1 year old may
be required
- Certain
specialty cases may require additional documents
- Photo
ID
- Cash,
check or money order
(credit cards and debit cards are not accepted)
- An
ATM is available in our office
PLEASE
NOTE: Washington-titled vehicles must be registered within
fifteen (15) days after purchase date to avoid penalty fees. A $25
penalty is charged on the 16th day with an additional $2.00 charge
each day thereafter until a maximum amount of $100 penalty is reached.
