What this means for you

These are the fees for registering a vehicle and its paperwork, set in US dollars in January 2026. Registering a motor vehicle, motorcycle or trailer for the first time is US$50. A change of ownership is US$95 if you buy new plates and US$15 if you keep them. A duplicate third plate is US$35 and a duplicate registration book US$15.

They replace the fee table in the vehicle registration regulations of 1999. Fees are changed from time to time, so confirm the amount at the registry before you pay.
