Welcome to Rapid Renewal!

This online service makes it possible for you to renew your motor vehicle registration and to pay your local excise tax in one simple transaction.

You should receive your new registration certificate and stickers within 7 business days. If your registration will expire within 7 days, and you are planning to travel out-of-state with your vehicle, you may wish to renew your registration in person at your municipal office. Re-registrations may also be processed at a motor vehicle branch office, after payment of excise tax has been made at your municipality.
