How to Renew Your Vehicle Registration in Alabama
Content
For most Alabama residents, it is important to enforce all local and state laws. If you have a state-registered vehicle, you will need to renew it every year. The month in which you need to renew your registration will be based on the first letter of your last name. You must ensure that you renew your vehicle registration until the last day of the month it is due in order to avoid a fine.
