Broward County drivers will soon be able to renew their vehicle registrations at kiosks being installed in select Publix supermarkets.
Machines are currently being set up at locations in Hollywood, Coconut Creek, Plantation, Coral Springs, and Cooper City. The Tax Collector’s office hopes to announce the addresses of these stores, plus another five sites, before the end of the year.
During store hours, drivers can access their accounts using a PIN sent with their renewal notice or, if they don’t have a PIN, by entering their license plate number and the date of birth of the first name listed on the registration. After swiping a credit card, the kiosk prints out a license plate sticker and a registration card, which Florida law requires to remain in the vehicle. A $4.50 convenience fee applies in addition to the regular renewal charge.
The kiosks will not issue new metal tags and cannot be used by drivers with suspended licenses or those registering boats, mobile homes, driverless vehicles, vehicles with National Guard tags, or personalized plates.
Miami-Dade County launched a similar program in April, placing five kiosks at Publix locations in Homestead, Doral, Miami Beach, and two in Miami. Broward officials hope the new kiosks will make registration renewals faster and more convenient for residents.
