How often must vehicle license tabs be renewed?

In Washington State, vehicle license tabs must be renewed annually, which is why the correct choice is every year. The annual renewal ensures that the vehicle's registration remains current and compliant with state laws. Each renewal typically involves paying a fee, and the registrant may be required to provide proof of insurance and a current emissions test, depending on the vehicle's age and type.

Renewing every year helps maintain accurate records for the Department of Licensing, promotes road safety by ensuring that vehicles on the road meet safety and emissions standards, and allows for timely updates to necessary information such as ownership changes or updates to vehicle specifications.
