How long does it take dmv to recive a payment online?

If I pay my registrations for both our cars (they are both due in march) online thru the dmv site how long does it take them to get it.  Just wondering if I did it a few days before the due date would they get it in time.  We have to smog dh's truck this year and I am getting the money together for that.  I was not planning on the smog this year or that my car would be $100 more this year then last.  I pay things first thing in the morning around 7-8 am.

in NJ you can pay online then print out the confirmation to use until your actual card arrives.

I know that here there is a 30 day grace period after the "due date."  However, if you pay within a few days (of the due date + 30) they say you need to come in person in order to get the tags because you won't get them in the mail in time.

I usually get the tags within a week of paying online.

I'm sure your dmv site has details.
