Registration Renewal Fees in Connecticut

Renewing your registration will require you to pay a few types of fees: your vehicle registration fee, a processing fee, a plate fee, a Clean Air Act fee, a Passport to the Parks fee, and, if you choose to renew through our site, our agency fee. The fees are broken down as follows:

Greenhouse Gas Fee:

• There is a $10 fee collected with each 2-year renewal.

Third Party Agency Fee:

This fee is not required and will not be assessed if you choose to renew your vehicle through the official state portal. There are valuable benefits associated with this fee, including One-Click Renewal, quick status checks, error-free processing, DMV advocates and much more. We also guarantee your satisfaction, so if you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
