Driving with a 6 Month Expired Registration in Orlando

All drivers in Florida are required to register their vehicles with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.   When a person’s registration is expired, they will not be permitted to operate their vehicle again until they have renewed their registration for another year. 

Failing to renew vehicle registration is a non-criminal moving violation, and will not amount to anything more than perhaps a small fine or reinstatement fee.   However, if a person fails to renew their registration for longer than 6 months, and it is the second time they have been cited for this offense, they will be charged with a second degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 60 days in the county jail.  In addition, drivers are also likely to be fined, and points will likely be assessed to their driving records. Their car insurance rates are also likely to increase.
