Changes to Registration Renewals Due July 1, 2011 and Later

Changes were made to how registration renewals are being implemented.

from: CA DMV website
* State law requires DMV to implement changes in the billing and renewal process for registration fees due on or after July 1, 2011.
* Registration renewal notices will be mailed out close to or on the expiration date. (Previously notices were mailed 60-days ahead of the expiration date).
* NOTE: Fees are still due for registration notices due prior to July 1, 2011.
* No money will be collected until renewal notices are issued. (Previously renewal fees could be collected up to 75 days ahead of the expiration date and were required to be collected within 30 days of expiration when part of another transaction such as a transfer of vehicle ownership)
* All customers will be given a 30-day grace period after they receive their registration notice. Penalties for delinquent payment will not be imposed until 30 days after the registration expiration date. (Previously penalties were due the day after the registration expiration date)
* Law enforcement is aware and will not cite vehicles until the first day of the second month after the vehicle registration expires. For example: A vehicle with a registration expiration date of July 10th would not be cited for delinquent registration prior to September 1, 2011.

I'm not sure if most people know this already, I hadn't heard until now.

yes but they will give you 30 days to pay for it. Just pay it before then so you could get your sticker on time

Last renewal notice I got came damn near 3 months prior to the due date. Of course I forgot about it and incurred late fees.

I think they are finally pulling out of our asses?


My buddy got hammered with a huge late fee. He just moved and is very hyper and busy. Got his 3 weeks late so when he went down it was too late and he got a major late fee.
