The department of motor vehicles is not the most loved place to have to visit. It seems that the lines are so long and you wait forever just to do simple tasks. Just about anyone you ask hates the thought of renewing their license or having to renew their vehicle registration. The department of motor vehicles has heard our complaints. Over the past few years they have begun to offer services through the mail and even online saving us time. Being able to do a few select things online has been helpful not only to us but for the department of motor vehicles as well. These options free them up from many phone calls and time spent in the office answering small and simple questions. This allows them more time to work with those individuals that need services that can only be done by being in office, like driver’s tests and such. You can’t quite do a driver’s exam online, but having other services available online allows more time to get through the line faster than before.
Wondering what department of motor vehicles services are available online for you? You can request a change of address; download any DMV forms you may need, request your driver’s record or vehicle record. You can also renew your vehicle registration online. You can even register to vote online with the department of motor vehicles online services. You also have the ability to pay a traffic citation you may have received.
There are many useful resources available to you as well. If you need information on vehicle or boat registration or if you are wondering about drivers licensing or just interested in more information on driving under the influence you can find all this out on the department of motor vehicles website. There are many resources at your fingertips. Do you have a young driver soon to be going for their driver’s test? Then let them go online and take a self-assessment test and see samples of what they may see on their exam?
In the state of California they have an appointment system in place for you to call or go online and schedule an appointment for any in office services you may need. You can schedule your appointment up to 45 days in advance and take care of up to three items of business in your allotted time. What a great time saver for you. No more long waits sitting in the lobby waiting area. Another great addition to a few California department of motor vehicles is the new self-service registration renewal center. This kiosk sits in the lobby and allows you to walk up and renew your vehicle’s registration on the spot without having to wait in line.
