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.
