If you’re unsure when or how to renew your car title or registration in Florida, you’re not alone. Florida drivers often confuse these two important documents — and knowing how and when to renew each can help you avoid late fees, fines, or even a suspended license.
At Auto Tags of North Broward, we make renewals fast, easy, and stress-free with no DMV lines involved. Here’s everything you need to know.
Title Renewal vs. Registration Renewal: What’s the Difference?
First, let’s clarify the difference:
- Registration renewal is required annually or biennially to legally drive your vehicle on Florida roads.
- Title renewal is rare and you only need to replace or update your title if it’s lost, damaged, or updated (like after a name change or lien release).
Most Florida drivers are dealing with registration renewal, but we can help with both!
Step 1: Know Your Renewal Due Date
Your registration renewal date depends on the registered owner’s birth month. Commercial vehicle renewals may follow a different schedule. You’ll typically receive a notice from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), but don’t rely on it alone.
To avoid late fees, check the expiration date on your current registration or call Auto Tags of North Broward for quick verification.
Step 2: Gather Required Documents
You’ll need:
- Current registration or renewal notice
- Valid Florida driver’s license
- Proof of insurance
- Payment for renewal fees
If you’re renewing a title due to a lost or damaged document, bring your ID and complete Form HSMV 82101.
