RENEW YOUR LICENSE PLATE REGISTRATION ONLINE

You can now renew your vehicle’s registration online through the Wisconsin DMV website. What you will need to complete this is as follows:

• The license plate renewal notice you received has a Renewal Reference Number (RRN) on it. The RRN is located to the right of the return mailing address on the notice. If you don’t have your renewal notice, you may:

• find the RRN by using the

• license plate lookup, or
• enter the Product Number on your current certificate of registration for the RR
• Your correct and current address is on the renewal notice.
• Need to change your address? Please update your address before you renew online.


• The license plate and vehicle described on your renewal notice is correct. If you recently transferred the plates to a vehicle different from the one described on your renewal notice, the RRN may have changed. Check the
• license plate lookup for the current RRN.


• You have a valid Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover Card.

A $1.25 online convenience fee will be added to the registration fee due. A

$10 late fee may also be added if you renew after the registration expiration date. The expiration date is printed in the upper left corner of your renewal notice.

You should print a confirmation page or the email confirmation as proof of current registration and keep it in your vehicle until you receive the new Certificate of Registration and plate sticker. We will mail a new Certificate of Registration and year sticker within a week. You may legally operate your vehicle on Wisconsin public roads once you complete the online renewal.

With the title of port city from time to time vessels will visit the City of Sturgeon Bay and will usually dock at Graham Park located at the end of Pennsylvania Street. While these vessels are in Port it is required that all non crew, passengers and security stay a minimum of fifty feet away by land and by water.
