The fee for obtaining a duplicate driver’s license in Louisiana is typically around $25. This fee can vary slightly depending on specific circumstances or changes in state regulations.
If a vehicle registration is not renewed on time, Louisiana residents can expect to pay an additional late fee. The late fee is added to the standard renewal fee as a penalty for missing the renewal deadline. There is no discount or extended grace period for late renewals, and vehicle inspections are not typically included with late renewal fees.
The Louisiana DMV generally accepts credit cards, debit cards, and cash for payments. Personal checks are usually not accepted for DMV fees. Payments are more commonly processed electronically or in cash.
Traffic ticket fines are imposed by law enforcement and are usually handled by the court system, not directly by the DMV. The other fees, such as for driver's license renewals, vehicle registrations, and duplicate titles, are typically charged by the Louisiana DMV.
Residents can make various DMV-related payments online through the Louisiana DMV’s Expresslane.org website. This includes payments for driver’s license renewals, vehicle registrations, and other services. The DMV's main office or local government offices do not handle online payments directly.
