DMV online services available:

• License plate look up - find out when your plate expires; get the RRN number so you can renew your plates online; check to see if an emissions (IM) test is required for the vehicle; find out if your plate is suspended or valid.

• Where's my title? - know if your title has been processed recently and when to expect it in the mail.

Status as of November 14, 2009

*License plates are mailed separately through the U.S. Postal Service using standard class mail and may take an additional three weeks to be delivered after the title is received.

**Please allow an additional four weeks from the issuance of the certificate of registration for manufacturing and mailing of special and personalized plates.
