Can I pay with a credit card?

Yes, if you choose to do the Internet Renewal Option for tab renewals, you can go online through the Department of Licensing website (see links above), where you can pay with your credit card and choose the option to pick up or have our office mail out your new tabs. This method is allowed because you are paying the state directly.

Our subagency accepts payment by check, cash and most credit cards.
