Important Notice:

*** DMV UPDATE: The DMV is by appointment only. The DMV no longer accepts a paper tax release or stamp on the back of your registration renewal. Releases are done electronically, and it may take up to two business days as the Tax Collector's Office runs a nightly "take off" file with the CT DMV to guarantee registration in that allotted time frame. ( For example, if you pay online on Monday, you will be cleared to register on Wednesday. Or, if you pay online Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, you will be cleared to register on Tuesday.) Please plan accordingly. You may also check with DMV regarding any compliance issues or to renew your registration online at www.ct.gov/dmv/online.
