Hi Jennifer, thanks for your question. If you are renewing in California or Maryland where we are licensed by the state, you would receive proof of registation within a few minutes of you successfully completing your renewal order with us. If your order is placed on hold for any reason, you would receive notification on the reason and how to resolve it before getting access to the digital proof of registration. In Florida where we operate as a courier service, your vehicle and owner information must first be reviewed by an agency licensed by the state. If your tags can be renewed, you will have access to your proof of registation within a few hours of the successful completion of your order. Please keep in mind that orders submitted in the late afternoon will carry over to the next business day. We hope that helps. Take Care and Drive Safely.
