How do I release a hold on my vehicle registration renewal?

You can check with the department of licensing to find out if there is a hold on your vehicle registration renewal. To release the hold, you must pay your civil penalty. Payments may be made to the customer service center via phone, mail or internet. If the matter has been referred to a collection agency, payment should be directed to the collection agency.
