You can renew your passenger vehicle or motorcycle registration certificates online or in-person.
Vehicle registrations expire on an assigned month based on your surname. You can look up your expiry date on the registration expiry date chart or by checking your registration certificate. As of January 1, 2021, expiry stickers are no longer required on licence plates.
There are 3 options to renew your registration.
The online site can only be used if you are renewing your registration without changes. If you require any changes to your registration, for example a name or address change, you must apply for the renewal in person at a registry agent office.
