Hello Mohammad! We’re really grateful and appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us.
The person I talked to was very helpful and she put me at ease. i have never used or heard of needtags in the 28 years I worked for DMV i their computer support unit and neither has my coworkers. the one thing I can say is that the redirect from the DMV page to your page should not be as covert as it is

Thank you Inouye! We truly appreciate your continuous support and trust in us. Your 5-star review brightens our day and serves as a constant reminder of why we love what we do.
This was a great way to get my missing tags. However, I didn't do anything wrong. I paid my registration on time and then somehow never got my new stickers. I shouldn't have to pay $92.06 to replace something that I never got in the first place.

Thanks for sharing your rating with us and the community.
$49 service fee is ridiculous.

Thank you for your review Ronne. Although the registration renewal interface (portal) for our users is online, the real work is done behind-the-scenes, by our awesome employees, and we're doing our very best to keep our offices staffed and continue offering our valued customers the expedited DMV services they've come to expect from us, including our super speedy next-day shipping, instant download of your renewed registration card, and our above par customer support. Please contact our customer care department if we can be of any further assistance.
Beware of this company. I wanted to transfer an old car to my name and have it registered. I went into the DMV website but I was redirected to Needtags. I did not think too much about it because a lot of institutions do that where another company manages payments, etc. I paid the initial $149, thinking that covers all the costs, but apparently, it did not. There never really is transparency with the charges they give you. Today, I was charged a total of $590 in my account. I don’t know what the first payment was for, but if it was a processing fee, it is still exorbitant. The entire transfer and registration costs 445. Purchasing this car was a big step into a new life for me, but this is just unfortunate.

Thank you for your review Kaye. All fees are displayed to our customers prior to checkout, and we include the breakdown of the fees in the invoice we email you once your title transfer is processed... along with your instant DMV registration e-card download. NeedTags strives to provide full transparency. We are not the DMV and make absolutely no claims to that effect. NeedTags is in fact a delegated provider for the California Department of Motor Vehicles. On the header of every page of our website we display the following text, as per California Business Partner Automation requirements, “NOTICE: NeedTags has been officially licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles to provide DMV services on their behalf. NeedTags is not owned or operated by any government agency and charges fees for value-add DMV services pursuant to CVC Section 1685. Standard service may be obtained from the DMV at no cost.” As for the benefits of utilizing our service, although the title transfer interface (portal) for our users is online, the real work is done behind-the-scenes, by our awesome employees, and we're doing our very best to keep our offices staffed and continue offering our valued customers the expedited DMV services they've come to expect from us, including our super speedy next-day shipping, instant download of your renewed registration card, and our above par customer support. Please contact our customer care department if we can be of any further assistance.
