Paul,

If you're a member of AAA, I'd start with them.  If not, call the
local DMV office & explain.  Hopefully, you kept copies of your on-
line communications.

Driving while unregistered is a risk (someone else can address how
much of a risk) but it might help if you have those copies in the car
to demonstrate that you are taking care of business if you do get
pulled over.

It's (obviously) important that you not let it go too long without
taking action.  Maybe it's just a normal delay, but if it fell
through some crack, you're still responsible.  Be sure to keep notes
of phone or over-the-counter conversations with the name(s) of anyone
you talk to.
