New Fees and Fee Increases from the DMV

Come July 1st, doing business with the Virginia DMV will cost more.  Governor Bob McDonnell proposed $10 million dollars in new fees and fee increases that were adopted by this year's General Assembly.

In a media release, the DMV highlighted the new $10 late for renewing a vehicle registration after it's expired.  If you're renewing by mail, the DMV advises that you send the renewal at least a week to ten days before the expiration date.  But if you head to the DMV service center to submit your renewal in person, plan on spending an extra five bucks.  There's a $5 service charge for renewing in person.  The DMV is pushing customers to use more online services.


A few more new fees.

• $20 minimum charge for renewing a driver's license (up from $10).  The DMV estimates it costs $26.85 to renew a license.
• $10 standard fee for all vehicle titles, including replacement titles, which were $5.
