Need your renewal sticker today – we handle the fees, any smog or insurance flags, and issue tags on the spot when the record is clear. Lost or stolen sticker – we replace it. Wrong address – we fix it so the next one actually arrives.

We serve drivers across California from our El Cajon office.

Annual registration renewal – sticker and registration card
Late renewals – we calculate penalties and bring the record current
Replacement stickers – lost, stolen, damaged
Replacement plates – lost, stolen, damaged
Address updates on file so mail stops bouncing
Planned Non-Operation to active – or active to PNO

What to bring

Driver license or ID
License plate number and last 5 of the VIN
Renewal notice or your last registration card if you have it
Proof of insurance for the vehicle
Smog certificate if your cycle requires one
If stolen – the police report number helps for plates or stickers

Not sure what applies – bring what you have, we sort the rest.

How it works in our office

Quick intake – what changed and when
Record check – fees, flags, smog, insurance status
Clear the blockers – we route smog or fix the insurance hit if needed
Pay fees – DMV fees plus our service fee, shown up front
Walk out ready – tag, sticker, or a temporary operating permit when the record allows it

Titles and plates are printed and mailed by DMV. Stickers are usually same day from us when the record is clear.

Common California scenarios we clean up

Sticker never arrived – address was old – we update and replace
Insurance lapse hit your record – we re-submit proof and reinstate
Smog due – you paid renewal online but still need the test – we issue a temp permit when allowed so you can drive to smog
Lost plate or sticker – we replace and mark the record correctly
PNO last year – now you want to drive – we reactivate and check smog rules

Quick checklist before you come in

Insurance active on this VIN
Smog done if your renewal calls for it
Plate number handy
Any lienholder details if plates were never issued after a purchase

Missing something – come anyway – we will show you the shortest legal path.

FAQ

Can I renew without the DMV notice
Yes. Plate number, last 5 of the VIN, and ID are enough.

Do I need smog to get the sticker
If your renewal cycle requires a test, the record must show a pass or we can set you up with a temporary operating permit when rules allow.

Sticker was stolen – do I need a police report
For stolen plates or stickers, a simple report number helps and keeps the record clean.

My address changed – will you update it
Yes. We update as part of the transaction so the next mail piece lands at the right place.

How fast is this
Clean renewals and most replacements – same day sticker. Plates and printed titles are mailed by DMV.

Bring the plate number – leave road ready
