West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles Surpasses 1 Million Online Transactions
CHARLESTON, W. Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is pleased to announce its online services portal, developed in partnership with NIC West Virginia, has reached a major milestone: over 1 million vehicle transactions completed.
“We are thrilled to pass that 1 million mark,” said Everett Frazier, DMV Commissioner. “The DMV continues to look for ways to make our services easier, more convenient and accessible to customers. We have been adding services to our website, dmv.wv.gov, since April 2014, and more and more customers are seeing the convenience of doing DMV business from the comfort and safety of their homes.”
The DMV online services portal also handles driver services and has completed over 208,000 driver’s license renewals and another 20,000 duplicate transactions as well.
“We are proud to have helped the DMV reach this exemplary level of customer experience through the online services portal,” said Ian McQuinn, NIC West Virginia General Manager. “Our mission to make government more accessible to citizens through technology aligns directly with the DMV’s commitment to enhancing citizen convenience.”
Using the online services portal is quick and easy, and many customers are choosing to “skip the trip” and renew their vehicle registration online in under three minutes rather than wait in line at an office. Citizens need their personal property tax receipt, current insurance information and either their renewal received via mail or their title number and license plate number.
To access the online services portal, visit dmv.wv.gov, click on the online services banner at the top and then vehicle services. Payments are handled via debit or credit card.
