Once you purchase a vehicle, it's important to make sure its registration, title, and tags are all up to date.
Our team at St. Charles Nissan knows exactly how to register a car in Missouri, and we're here to share our knowledge with all the drivers of St. Charles, St. Louis, O'Fallon, and Saint Peters!
If you just bought your car, you must display a temporary license plate. This will expire in 30 days, which will give you time to secure the permanent plates you need to drive your car in-state.
If you're unable to register the motor vehicle within 30 days, there will be a penalty of up to $25, which could increase every additional 30 days that pass without registering the vehicle.

If you renew your tags and title after the expiration date, a $5 penalty may be assessed.
If there is no change in ownership, an inspection is required once every two years to renew your motor vehicle registration.
