How to Renew Your Vehicle License
Take your vehicle
to one of the official vehicle emissions inspection
stations. Up to ninety (90) days prior to your vehicle's registration
expiration, you can have your vehicle tested at any testing station
in the five-county area regardless of where your
vehicle is registered.
Once your vehicle
has complied with emission testing requirements, you can renew your
registration by mail or in person. You can mail or take your renewal
form, your emission inspection compliance certificate, and the proper
fees to your County Clerk’s office.
Hamilton County also offers online registration renewal.
Sumner County also offers online registration renewal.
