You can pay any fee in person at a DMV office with a certified check, personal check or money order, payable to “Commissioner of Motor Vehicles.”.
can you give me an idea of how much I would have to pay under certain scenarios?
Okay, say your insurance lapse is 90 days, you may pay a total penalty of $900 ($8 per day for the first 30 days = $240; plus $10 per day for 31 days to 60 = $300; plus $12 per day for days 61-90 = $360) and not turn in your plates
