Renew vehicle registration online; it’s convenient and inexpensive

July 23, 2009

These days everyone is looking to save a little money, and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offers advice on how to do just that, particularly with vehicle registration renewal.  “I am continuously surprised at the number of people we see coming into the DMV customer service centers paying a $3 counter service fee to renew their vehicle registrations,” notes Kristina Boardman, director of the DMV Bureau of Field Services.  “It’s more convenient and cheaper to do it online.”  Online vehicle registration renewal has a transaction fee of just one dollar, and can be done from home any time of day or night.   “Clearly online is the way to go if you want to save time and money,” says Boardman.  Registration renewal can also be mailed for the cost of a postage stamp. 

DMV reminds customers that, like vehicle registration renewal, there are many other services do not require a visit to a service center and are available online at: www.wisconsindmv.gov.
