If your vehicle registration is delinquent or you require proof of SR insurance, or if you have any outstanding debts, the vehicle does not qualify for online renewal. Half year license and apportioned vehicles are not eligible for online renewals at this time. (This is an enhancement that will be available in the future!!!) You have 3 full months to renew your vehicles. You have the month before, the month of, and the month after your renewal month.
