Everything You Need to Know: Wisconsin Car Registration Renewal

Wisconsin offers a variety of license plates and registration options, making it tricky to figure out the vehicle registration renewal process. Most registrations need to be renewed annually in Wisconsin, although motorcycles, mopeds, low-speed vehicles, and light farm trucks are every other year. Registrations can expire on any day of the month for most vehicles, although trucks, trailers, and motor homes expire on the last day of the month. Trucks with a gross weight of over 8,000 lbs. are renewed quarterly. And there are special regulations for school buses, delivery vans, and farm trucks.

If all these variations make your head spin, then you need DoNotPay. The Renew Car Registrations product from DoNotPay can walk you through the process, making your Wisconsin car registration renewal as painless as possible.
