I have a Honda with a registration month of July. It's now August but DMV has
yet to send me the renewel sticker. Should I continue to wait or do I have to
go to the DMV for a duplicate? Would it cost extra $?

In the meantime, what should I do to make sure my car isn't fined? Tape the
cancelled check to the windshield? steal my neighbor's and sticking it on my
plate? (j/k.... but my neighbor did steal it off my car once.)
