| Four-year Vehicle Registration |
|
|
 |
|
|
The very first registration period for some new vehicles is four years. When you title and register a vehicle for the first time with a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin, you are required to pay for four years of registration for these vehicles:
- Passenger
- Light trailer
- Moped
- Motorcycles (except hybrid or electric-powered)
After the four-year registration period is over, it will be time to renew the registration. The second registration period, and all that follow, will be for two years.

- If you choose Crater Lake plates, you pay a $20 surcharge fee once, and there is no further surcharge fee at any time. Crater Lake plates are issued only to passenger vehicles.

After the four-year period, you will pay a surcharge of $50 for two-year periods at each registration renewal. Custom plates are issued to several vehicle types. Passenger, moped, and motorcycle are the only vehicle types subject to four-year registration which also may be issued custom plates.
- If you choose Group plates, you pay a surcharge of $20, which covers the initial four-year period. After the four-year period, you will pay a surcharge of $10 for two-year periods at each registration renewal. Group plates are issued only to passenger vehicles.
