Is The Tag Stop a government agency?

No, The Tag Stop is a private vehicle registration service licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles (Partner #85499). We provide a faster, boutique alternative to the traditional DMV.

Can I renew my registration if I am past due or have penalties?

Yes, we can process past-due registrations and calculate any penalties owed. Because we are an official partner, we can clear your record and issue your tags as soon as payment is processed.

What forms are required for a California title transfer?

To transfer a title, you generally need the current Certificate of Title (Pink Slip) signed by both the buyer and seller, a Statement of Facts (if applicable), and a valid ID. If the vehicle is from out-of-state, a VIN verification is also required.

Can I get a duplicate title if I lost my original California pink slip?

Absolutely. We can process an Application for Duplicate or Transfer of Title on-site. This saves you the hassle of a DMV visit and ensures your ownership records are updated quickly.

Do I need a smog check before visiting The Tag Stop?

If your renewal notice requires a smog check, you should complete it at a licensed smog station first. Once the station electronically sends the result to the DMV, we can instantly finish your registration and hand you your stickers.

I lost my registration sticker or card, can you replace it?

Yes. We can issue replacement California registration stickers and cards on the spot. You walk out with them in minutes rather than waiting weeks for mail delivery.

How does the 'On-Call' registration service work?

You can call us with your plate number and the last 5 digits of your VIN. We calculate your fees over the phone. Once payment is confirmed, your tags are ready for immediate pickup or can be shipped to you, eliminating any wait time.
