  2. Click on “Renew Tabs Online”
  3. Follow instructions to pay (3% fee of the total charges added)
  4. On the last page, select Alpine Management Services and choose either the pick up, or mail option.
  5. Now you are ready to pick your tabs up at our office* in Issaquah that same day, or we will mail them to you postage-free that afternoon, anywhere statewide. Please note: tabs are only mailed to the address on the registration, so make sure your address is up to date on your driver’s license (this must be done first) and on each one of your vehicle/vessel registrations before you renew. Both can be done at www.dol.wa.gov

*Another person may pick up your tabs for you providing they have a current Washington driver’s license with the same last name or the same address as you. Alternatively, the registered owner may give a note of permission for anyone else to pick up their registration which must include: the date, the vehicle’s plate or VIN number, the registered owner’s unexpired driver’s license number, and both the registered owner’s and authorized person’s signatures. Current ID is required. To pick up for a company, you must have something linking you to that company. Examples include: a note of permission on company letterhead, a business card, a credit card or check with both your name and the company’s name.
