What do I need to bring to renew a license plate?
To renew a license plate, please bring your current vehicle registration card or postcard sent by the Secretary of State. This contains your Registration ID, Pin, and Plate Number, which are needed for renewal. If you do not have a Registration ID and Pin, the vehicle’s VIN number is required. Please also be prepared to show your driver’s license.
When and where can I purchase a license plate sticker?
Stickers arepurchased at the CheckoutDesk located on the first floor of the library. This service is available sevendays a week, from opening until 30 minutesbefore closing.
Can I purchase a license plate sticker for a family member?

Can I change my address on my registration?
Yes. You can only change the address on your registration to match your driver’s license address.
If the address on your driver’s license and the address on your registration are the same, you need nothing more. If the address on your driver’s license is incorrect, we can still issue the sticker but cannot update your address.
