REGISTRATION EXTENSION FOR SATISFACTION OF CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS (§ 46.2-646.2)

A. Upon request by an applicant, the Commissioner may grant a one-month
extension of the registration period of a vehicle if the vehicle registration
has been withheld pursuant to &#xA7; 33.2-503, 46.2-752, 46.2-819.1, 46.2-819.3,
46.2-819.3:1, or 46.2-1183 and the current registration period will expire
within the calendar month. No extension may be granted for an expired vehicle
registration, and only one extension may be granted for any one vehicle
registration period.

B. For each extension granted, the Commissioner shall collect (i) a $10
administrative fee and (ii) a fee sufficient for a one-month registration period
for the vehicle, as calculated under subsection B of &#xA7; 46.2-694. On receipt
of such fees, the Commissioner shall issue a registration card and, if
applicable, decals indicating the month of expiration of the vehicle
registration. Upon satisfying the requirements for which the vehicle
registration has been withheld, the applicant may elect to renew the vehicle
registration. For such renewal, the Commissioner shall collect the appropriate
registration renewal fee and issue a registration card and, if applicable,
decals. The renewal shall take effect on the first day succeeding the month in
which the registration extension expires. When offered by the Commissioner, the
applicant may elect to renew the vehicle registration for multiple years,
pursuant to &#xA7; 46.2-646.

C. All administrative fees imposed and collected by the Commissioner under this
section shall be paid into the state treasury and set aside as a special fund to
be used to meet the expenses of the Department.
