Rates went up January-9th and appears to be retroactive. If you had paid before then, it would be $30.50 as expected. One would think the rate quoted would be what's due, but PA is desperate for revenue. Very shady!

Chalk it up as a learning experience to pay government related bills promptly. Not something I'd given much thought too either. My DL expires in December of next year and is something I will be keeping an eye on. May be worth upgrading to Real ID this year, which may extend another 2-4 years or just renewing early (think one can do so up to around 6 months ahead).

P.S. You could just mail payment in. Presumably, they'd honor the $30.50 rate. Very bizarre situation.

Thank you so much, this is exactly the explanation I was looking for. Just to satisfy my own curiosity, is there a link or article that mentions rates going up? I googled before posting this and found nothing.
