DoNotPay Simplifies Your Louisiana Car Registration Renewal

In the State of Louisiana, car registration expires every two years. The renewal encompasses the number plates and should be done before the last date of the current registration certificate. You can rely on DoNotPay to do your Louisiana car registration renewal conveniently and fast.

The Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles allows you to renew your vehicle registration in person or online. However, going to the OMV offices is usually time-consuming, especially when everyone else is rushing for the same purpose. On the other hand, the online method is sometimes plagued with delays and confusing instructions, making you repeat the process countless times.

Fortunately, DoNotPay simplifies the renewal process with a zero margin of error. Learn how to renew your car registration in Louisiana using the traditional method and a simpler route using DoNotPay.

How Do You Renew Your Car Registration in Louisiana?

The Office of Motor Vehicles will send you a notice a few weeks from the date of expiry. The notice contains the renewal fee, VIN, license plate number, and renewal I.D. You will need some of the details during the renewal process, depending on the method you use. Some of the means you can use include visiting in person, by mail, and via the internet.

Renew Your Louisiana Car Registration in Person

To renew your vehicle registration in person, you should present the required documents to the local OMV office and pay the fee stated in the notice. The officers at the OMV will take about 4 to 6 days to complete the renewal process and mail you the certificate.

There are offices scattered across the state where you can get the service. However, be prepared for long queues and a slow renewal process that might take you quite some time.
