Renew Vehicle Registration, Tags, and Plate Stickers in Dade County

Car registration renewals are boring and tedious. Actually, that really goes without saying.

Even when you are already familiar with the entire procedure, who wants to be standing in endless lines at the local DMV? Probably, no one.

Let’s be perfectly honest about it. This procedure could be as frustrating as driving through the I-95, all the way down to Coral Gables during rush hour.

If you know what that means, then we recommend you use our eTags’ online service for car registration renewals in Florida.

Not that you will end up loving tag renewals, but you could…

Here you’ll learn how to renew your vehicle registration in Dade County one question at a time.

What Is A Vehicle registration?

A vehicle registration is the simple registration of a motor vehicle with a government authority, either mandatory or otherwise.

Of course, Florida requires everyone to register their cars with the FLHSMV.

Even when you think that driving in Florida is as dangerous as swimming in the Everglades, you must comply with the law.

For more information about vehicle registration times and fees, read our Driving In Florida: Common Vehicle Registration Questions to learn more about it.

Registration fees? Sure thing. If you are registering your car for the first time, you’ll need to pay an initial $225 registration fee, title fees, plate fees, and taxes.

Ha! You could easily spend all that money on a domestic flight ticket or a mouth-watering seafood dish in Carpaccio at Bal Harbour Shops.

Before moving on to the next question, know that your registration must be renewed every 1 or 2 years and that depends on the car you are driving.

Oh well! Owning a car is not an easy responsibility but don’t worry. There are still other attractive, if not modern, choices of registration renewals we want you to be aware of.

What Do I Need To Renew My Tags In Florida?

Typically, all you need is to do is head to your local County Tax Collector Office and provide your:

• Renewal notice or registration certificate
• Driver’s License or ID
• Proof of auto insurance
• Payment for renewal fees

Anyway, there are 8 motor vehicle services offices in Miami dade that are also open to receive your renewal request.

Simple, right? Here’s a tip for you.

Tip#1: Always try to book an appointment otherwise you’ll be stuck in endless lines for a sickening amount of time until someone shouts your number.

Another problem drivers face has to do with payment methods in many Tax Collector agencies in Dade County, which gives us room for a second tip.

Tip#2: Some Tax Collector branches don’t accept credit/debit cards so keep some cash or other alternative forms of payment handy.

Did we mention parking? That’s another hassle you need to consider before completing your tag renewal in person. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Can I Renew My Tags And Registration Online In Miami Dade County?

Absolutely. Online renewals are the new “awesome” when it comes to vehicle registration renewals in Miami Dade County.

Here’s what you need to do one thing at a time:

• Your license plate number and vehicle information
• Proof of auto insurance
• Pay your vehicle renewal fee and tag renewal convenience fee

It cannot be any more crystal-clear than this. With eTags, you could complete your registration renewal within minutes.

Chances are you’ll be completing your tag renewals while laying by the pool or watching your favorite Netflix show. Nothing can ever beat that feeling.

GoRenew is another resource for tag renewals but there are still some challenges about its usage that are worth sharing:

• They require more personal information from users
• They constantly require users to confirm their details
• They require users to provide their Social Security Number
• If your registration is more than 30 days overdue, you can’t use their online platform
• If your registration is on hold, they won’t give you any details on how to resolve it

To make it simple, the difference between eTags and GoRenew is that our service feels like driving through the express lane while GoRenew feels like driving through a busy highway with road closures at a peak time.
