Virginia law, effective July 1, 2008, encourages customers to save money and time by renewing vehicle registrations (decals) online, by telephone, through the mail or a DMV Select. If you renew in person at a customer service center, you'll pay an additional $5 fee for each vehicle registration renewal transaction (unless accompanied by a transaction that must be done in person). Listen to our podcast, "Five reasons to avoid going to DMV".
Virginia law, effective July 1, 2011, encourages customers to save money and time by renewing driver's licenses and identification cards using preferred methods such as online, by telephone (driver's license only) or through the mail. If you're eligible to renew using preferred methods, but choose to renew in person at a customer service center, you'll pay an additional $5 fee (unless accompanied by a transaction that must be done in person).

Payment Information

You may pay your fees with cash, check, electronic check (e-check), money order, check card or credit card. DMV accepts Discover, MasterCard, Visa and American Express. E-check allows you to authorize DMV to electronically withdraw funds from your checking account.

Make checks payable to: Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles. See our Contact Us page for the mailing address.

Important Note: If you are paying by electronic check from a commercial account with controlled disbursement, debit block, and or account reconciliation, your bank will not accept the payment.

The fee is $85 if the check is $350 or less or $50 plus 10% of the check amount if check is greater than $350. If your bank accounts are of the type noted above, a better alternative is to use an Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment method.
