Vehicle Registration Renewal ATM

The vehicle registration ATM provides a self-service process for Shelby County residents to drive/walk-up to renew most vehicle registrations 24/7 based on your schedule without having to come inside or wait in line.  The Registration ATM is only available at the 280 Office at this time (19220 Hwy 280, Birmingham, Al. 35242).

It is your responsibility to renew your tag before the expiration date. Any changes to a renewal must come into the tag office. There is no grace period; your tag must be renewed by the end of your renewal month to avoid penalties. You can renew registrations with late penalties at the ATM.  Any resident of Shelby County can use the ATM provided they have eligible vehicle registrations that are available for renewal.  Motor Vehicle Registrations Renewal Months are by first letter of last name:

• A and D - January
• B - February

No, there is no additional fee for using the registration renewal ATM.

You must be a resident of Shelby County.  You will need your tag renewal notice with the barcode that was mailed to you OR your drivers license and tag number to start the transaction.  Most tags can be renewed at the ATM.  The exception are tags that require additional documentation/certification, or tags that the state has changed the design this year (examples: God Bless/UA/AU tags).  ATM transactions do NOT have a $2.00 mail processing fee and you can print your decals at the ATM on your schedule.  Only credit and debit card payments are accepted at the ATM.
