The DeKalb County Clerk’s Office is reintroducing its self-service outdoor kiosk that offers a fast and easy way to renew your vehicle registration.
You don’t need to take a number or sit and wait; the average transaction takes less than two minutes. After a successful renewal, a new registration document and registration prints immediately.

“Last summer we purchased and installed an Outdoor Kiosk for tag renewals,” said County Clerk James L. (Jimmy) Poss.
“I want to offer our citizens every option of convenience in renewing their vehicle registrations. We now complete vehicle renewals in office, over the phone and through online services already available. Unlike online, mail or phone, the outdoor Kiosk allows individuals the opportunity to choose the time, pay no mail fee and no delay in receiving their renewal paper registration and renewal sticker,” Poss continued.
“The card convenience fee is charged but it’s no different from card use in office, by phone or online.” This Kiosk allows DeKalb County residents the ability to renew all tags without state or federal restrictions such as weighted 55,000 lbs. or above that require a federal 2290 or any state waived fees for a select few. The availability is 24 hours a day 7 days a week, weekends and holidays. The kiosk is at our current office location, outside secured to the sidewalk. The current placement was chosen for several reasons,” Poss said. “First and foremost being mindful of a place centrally located as possible for All DeKalb County residents. Also, the current location already offered internet and electricity, level parking, ample lighting for safety and security at night, a large, covered sidewalk for inclement weather, concrete to secure the machine and security cameras all of which were already in place. These are features that we would be looking for should the county ever decide to fund additional Kiosks to remote areas in the future.”
For additional information, feel free to contact the office or me with any questions or concerns at 615-597-5177,” said County Clerk Poss.
