Sometimes, you just want to let the good times roll.
If you want to keep your vehicle for more than a year, in most cases you’ll need to renew its registration.
This article walks you through the process of renewing your vehicle’s registration.
visitor.us will send you a reminder email 60 (and, if necessary, 30 days) before your current registration expires.

Registration renewal by mail
When we scan and upload your registration renewal to the visitor.us dashboard, you'll receive an email notification prompting you to provide a shipping address for your items.
Shipment timing
We usually ship your items within one to two business days after you submit your desired address.
For destinations inside the US, we ship your items second day, meaning that they are expected to arrive two business days after sending.
You can expect to receive your items about four business days after submitting your desired address (for destinations inside the United States).
International Shipments
International shipments can take three to five business days to reach Europe and Australia, and as long as ten to 14 business days to reach Central and South America.
International shipments are subject an international shipment fee.
Replacing your old registration document and decal
When you receive your registration renewal document and decal, both items should replace the old item.
Keep your vehicle’s new registration document in your vehicle’s glove box. You can throw your old registration document away.
Place the new decal on your vehicle’s rear license plate, over the old decal, so that only the new decal is visible (it’s ok if a little bit of the old decal is showing).
