For a complete listing of all motor vehicle fees, please refer to Form MV-70S, “Bureau of Motor Vehicles Schedule of Fees.” The discount does not apply to title fees, transfer fees or sales tax.  \nNOTE: 100% of a veteran’s benefit payment or payment to the unmarried surviving spouse, upon the death of a veteran, is entitled to receive, should not be included as income for the reduced Retired Status fee.  \nUnder this plan, you may register only one passenger vehicle or truck that you own for the processing fee, and you should be the principal driver of the vehicle, unless a physical or mental disability exists that makes you incapable of driving. NOTE: When a vehicle is titled in two names, only the income of the retired principle driver applying needs to be listed on Form MV-371, “Application for a Retired Person’s Processing Fee on a Vehicle Registration,” to qualify unless they have a medical condition that disqualifies them from driving.  \nAPPLICATION FOR RETIRED STATUS  \nTo apply, you must complete Form MV-371 and include it with your regular registration renewal, along with a check or money order made payable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. NOTE:  \nForm MV-371 can be found on [our website at](our website at www.pa.gov/dmv)[ ](our website at www.pa.gov/dmv)[www.pa.gov/dmv](our website at www.pa.gov/dmv), or you may also renew your registration [by visiting](by visiting www.pa.gov/dmv and)[ ](by visiting www.pa.gov/dmv and)[www.pa.gov/dmv](by visiting www.pa.gov/dmv and)[ and](by visiting www.pa.gov/dmv and) selecting “Renew Your Vehicle Registration with Retired Status Rate” from the list of services on the Online Services page.  \nIf you are buying a new vehicle or a vehicle previously titled in another state, you should complete Form MV-371 and forward it with Form MV-1, “Application for Certificate of Title.” If you are buying a used vehicle previously titled in Pennsylvania, submit Form MV-371 with the assigned Pennsylvania Certificate of Title and Form MV-4ST, “Vehicle Sales and Use Tax Return/Application for Registration.” Please note, in either case, you would still be responsible for the title fee and sales tax. In addition, only authorized agents can complete Forms MV-1 and MV-4ST and submit to PennDOT. NOTE: For a complete listing of motor vehicle fees, refer to Form MV-70S, \"Bureau of Motor Vehicles Schedule of Fees.\"  \nPHOTO LICENSES: TWO-YEAR AND FOUR-YEAR  \nPennsylvania’s driver licensing period is approximately four years, expiring the day after your  \nbirthday. However, persons at least 65 years of age have the option of obtaining a two-year license.  \nFor photo license fees, refer to the “Driver Licensing Fee Chart Fact Sheet,” found on our website at [www.pa.gov/dmv](www.pa.gov/dmv).  \nAfter you send your renewal along with the fees to the Bureau of Driver Licensing, you will receive a camera card, which is valid for 60 days as a temporary driver’s license when accompanied by your driver’s license. Visit one of our photo license centers to have your photograph taken, and you will receive your photo license at that time.  \nRENEWING YOUR NON-COMMERCIAL DRIVER’S LICENSE OR VEHICLE REGISTRATION EARLY  \nIf you plan to be out of Pennsylvania for an extended period of time and would like to renew your driver’s license or vehicle registration up to six months ahead of time, you may renew these online at [www.pa.gov/dmv](www.pa.gov/dmv.","cbCairUuaOauAD2m","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairUuaOauAD2m","pdf",200158,"English","# Purpose\n## Retired Person’s Vehicle Registration\n## Application for Retired Status\n## Photo Licenses: Two-Year and Four-Year\n## Renewing Early\n## Mature Driver Re-Examination Program\n## Photo Identification Card","[{\"question\":\"What eligibility requirements apply for the retired person vehicle registration processing fee in Pennsylvania?\",\"answer\":\"If retired and receiving Social Security or pension income, and total annual income from all sources is $30,778 or less, you may qualify for a reduced processing fee instead of the regular registration fee.
