Same-Day Plates, Stickers, and Registration Cards in California
Sticker Quicker, a licensed California DMV business partner (OL 90656), prints stickers and registration cards in office and issues plates the same day on qualifying transactions, with an instant e-copy delivered the moment your fees post. Eligibility depends on the hold type and your vehicle record, and we confirm exactly what can be posted before you pay.

How same-day actually works
As a licensed DMV business partner with inventory on site, we print year and month stickers, CVRA and weight decals, and registration cards in our Fremont office, and issue plates on qualifying transactions the same day.
Statewide customers get the instant registration e-copy immediately, which serves as proof while physical items arrive by next-day FedEx with tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really get plates the same day in California?
Yes, on qualifying transactions processed through a licensed DMV business partner with plate inventory, like us. Walk into our Fremont office Monday to Friday 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM and leave with plates on the vehicle; online customers receive an instant e-copy with next-day FedEx delivery of the physical items.
What can you issue same day?
License plates on qualifying transactions, year and month stickers, CVRA and weight decals, and registration cards, all printed or issued in office while you wait. Titles are the exception: those follow by mail from the DMV to the registered owner, though the transfer itself is processed the same day.
Is the instant e-copy valid proof of registration?
The e-copy documents that your fees are paid and the transaction is processed, which is what you need while the physical items are in transit. It arrives by email within minutes of the transaction completing, so there is no window where you have paid but have nothing to show for it.
Do you do same-day plates for commercial trucks?
Yes, including newly built and upfitted trucks for dealers and body builders, and heavy vehicles up to 80,000 lbs. Weight changes on modified chassis can be processed in the same visit, so a finished build leaves with the right plates and the right declared weight together. See heavy vehicle registration.
What if my registration has a hold?
A hold must clear before physical items issue, but we can post your fees immediately so late penalties stop, then issue plates and stickers the same day once it releases. This works for smog, insurance, IRS 2290, and Clean Truck Check holds. See registration holds for how each clears.
