DMV Data Services
DMV is proud to become your service provider for data. Previously, Virginia Interactive served as your conduit to DMV data. Now, DMV will be your direct source. DMV and VI are working together to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of service to you.
The process of obtaining data from DMV will be similar to your VI interactions. Prior to your transition, DMV will work with you to learn more about your specific service needs and assist with the establishment of use agreements for your new DMV account or revisions to your existing DMV account.
Current VI customers will be transitioned in phases to DMV. DMV has mailed letters to VI customers requesting that they submit their applications by a specific date to ensure there will be no disruption in service. All VI customers should complete and return their applications to DMV as soon as possible.
What is Required to Transition
All Virginia Interactive customers will need to enter into an Information Use Agreement and/or Memorandum of Understanding with DMV. Complete and submit an Information Use Application to DMV for access. In addition, if applicants want access via the Internet, they must complete an Application for Extranet Transaction Access. DMV will waive the $25 application fee and existing RSA Secure ID Tokens provided by VI will continue to be utilized at DMV for no fee. Once your contract and access is established with DMV, you will need to terminate your contract with Virginia Interactive.
Billing Process
Users will continue with a monthly billing cycle and the fees will remain the same, e.g. $7 per driver or vehicle record, $9 for Driver Alert, and $1.25 per driver status inquiry.
