Almost everything the DMV does — without the DMV.
As an authorized registration partner, we process the paperwork that usually means a long morning downtown. Here's the short list.
Renewals & Tags
Registration renewals with new stickers printed and handed to you the same day — even if you're running late.

Buying, selling, or gifting a vehicle? We complete the transfer of ownership and get the title moving correctly.
Out-of-State Registration
Moving to California? We register your out-of-state vehicle and get you legal on California roads.
Duplicate Titles & Stickers
Lost your title, registration card, or sticker? Replacements handled quickly so you're covered again.
VIN Verification
On-site VIN verification (REG 31) for out-of-state and specialty vehicles — no second trip required.
License Plates
New, replacement, and personalized plates ordered and processed without the counter wait.
Planned Non-Operation

Three steps. Done before lunch.
Bring your paperwork
Your renewal notice, title, or the documents for your transaction. Not sure what you need? Call ahead and we'll tell you exactly.
We handle the counter
We process everything directly through the DMV system, on the spot, while you wait in a chair instead of a line.
Drive away legal
Walk out with your tags, stickers, or completed paperwork in hand — same day, no follow-up trips.
Premium service, human pace.
Officially DMV-authorized
We're a licensed California registration partner — real DMV transactions, processed properly, not a workaround.
Same-day, no appointment
Walk in when it's convenient for you. Most transactions are finished before you'd have reached the front of the DMV line.
Real people who explain things
Confused by a form or a fee? We walk you through it in plain language, every time.
One trip, one stop
VIN checks, transfers, and renewals under one roof in Glendale — so you're not bounced between offices.
"The whole point of Onyx is that registration stops being the thing you dread. You're in, you're handled, you're gone."
Questions, answered.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in during business hours and we'll take care of you. If you'd like to confirm we can handle a specific transaction, a quick call ahead never hurts.
How is this different from going to the DMV?
We're a DMV-authorized partner, so we process the same official transactions — but typically with little to no wait. A service fee applies for the convenience and same-day handling; standard DMV fees still apply on top of that.
What should I bring?
It depends on the transaction. For a renewal, bring your renewal notice or current registration. For a transfer, bring the signed title and bill of sale. Not sure? Call us at (818) 422-2168 and we'll give you the exact list before you come in.
Can you register a car I'm bringing from another state?
Yes. We handle out-of-state registration including the required VIN verification, so you can get California plates without multiple trips.
Do you take walk-ins for title transfers?
Yes. Bring the properly signed title and supporting documents and we'll complete the transfer of ownership on the spot.
What forms of payment do you accept?
Give us a call to confirm current accepted payment methods for your transaction — fees vary depending on the service and the DMV charges involved.
