How long does a renewed registration take to come?

Question

I bought a car on July 18th and the title still hasn't come in, nor my registration. I transferred & renewed my registration from my old car to this one and the cops won't stop lurking around my house looking at my car due to the sticker being expired. I did renew it, just waiting on the tags. What is taking so long? When will I get my title too?

Answer 1

It's been far too long! Generally speaking, when purchased from a dealer, they have 45days to transfer title  to you. You need to contact the DMV right away and find out what the problem is.  

Answer 2

After looking around, I have found that wait times can vary widely depending on what state you live in. I recently renewed my registration in Texas, and it took about 7 days to receive. A new license plate can take anywhere from 10-30 days though, according to dmv.org. A resource you might want to check out for your own state is http://www.dmv.org/. There you can read through some FAQ regarding your state and it's standard policies.
