Registration Renewal Fees in Wisconsin

Renewing your registration will require you to pay a few types of fees: your vehicle registration fee, a late fee (if your registration is already expired), processing fees, local registration fees (if this applies in your jurisdiction) and, if you choose to renew through our site, our agency fee. The fees are broken down as follows:

Vehicle Registration Fee:

• To renew your passenger vehicle will cost you $85.00. A Motorcycle or Moped has a renewal rate of $23.00 biennially. Recreational Vehicle Trailers are $15. If your vehicle is a special design vehicle, you may see an additional $5.00 added to your fee.
• Fees for vehicles with a gross weight over 4,500 pounds are determined based upon type of vehicle and weight. Fees for these vehicles range from $37.50 up to $2,578.00.
• The state of Wisconsin charges an additional $100 surcharge for electric vehicles at the time of renewal.
• The state of Wisconsin charges an additional $75 surcharge for hybrid vehicles at the time of renewal.

Late Fee (if applicable):

• If your decals have already expired, you will pay a $10 late fee when you renew.

Local Registration Fees (if applicable):

• Depending on your county or municipality, you may owe local fees with your renewal. The fees range from $10.00 to $30.00 depending on where you live.

State Convenience Fee:

• You will be charged a state convenience fee when you renew online. The fee amount is a percentage of your overall renewal cost (approximately 1.7%).

Third Party Agency Fee:

• This site charges an agency fee starting at $17.75 to process your online transaction with the state on your behalf. 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.

Summary:

• On the checkout page for your renewal, you will see the above listed fees detailed according to your vehicle specifications. The total cost to you will be clearly itemized for you prior to payment.
• Please note that the fees that you will see associated with your vehicle on this website are an estimate based upon the information you have provided to us (car type, vehicle location, etc.) and the final amount charged to your card may vary slightly when we process your transaction with the state.
