DMV fees

License renewal charges

DMV fees are charges imposed by a state's Department of Motor Vehicles for services like vehicle registration, title transfers, and driver's license issuance or renewal.

These fees vary by state and transaction type: The DMV fees for registering my car came to over two hundred dollars.

The phrase often carries connotations of bureaucratic inconvenience.
