​ If you are renewing before you received your license plate renewal notice, you may see an additional charge if your plates are 10 years or older. This is part of the DMV reissuance process. This fee will be added to the cost of your renewal.

​​Have these ready:

• ​​Plate number or RRN number found on the renewal notice or eNotify email (see picture below)
• If you recently transferred the license plates to a vehicle different from the one described on your renewal notice, the RRN may have changed. Check the license plate search for the current RRN.
• ​If the RRN is not on the renewal notice or license plate lookup result, your plate does not qualify for online renewal.​

  ​​Where to find RRN on renewal notice:​

  Where to find RRN in eNotify email:
  ​

• A valid email address
• Payment Information
• Credit/debit card (convenience fee applies) or
• ​Checking/savings account and avoid the convenience fee

• Your Wisconsin Driver License or ID card number
• The last four digits of your Social Security number
