You do need to make an appointment as of this time to go inside the MVA buildings as a customer. However, you can renew online, via mail or many branches have 24 hour kiosks in the vestibule. You can renew a registration and immediately get a new sticker for your tag at the kiosk without an appointment. I prefer this method because I don't have to make an appointment and I don't have to rely on the mail.
No, you dont even have to go there. Just use the google machine to do it from the comfort of your couch.
