RICHMOND – Why wait in line at DMV when there’s an easier and less time-consuming optionto renew your vehicle registration? The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) urges you to skip the line this fall and winter and renew online instead.
Each month, an average of 37,000 customers visit a DMV customer service center in person to renew their vehicle registration. And if you’re one of the more than one-third of those who wait until the last few days of the month to renew in person, you’ll spend time waiting to be served – not including your drive time.
Why not save time and money and do this simple transaction online? There are a number of benefits:
- Save time – renewing your vehicle registration online takes only minutes and eliminates the drive and wait time at DMV.
- Save money – renewing online for one year saves you $1, two years saves $2, and three years saves $3.
- Simple transaction – all you need is your registration card with your title number and the last four digits of the vehicle identification number (VIN). No online account is required. Just pay online and you’re done.
- Instant update – we update your account automatically and mail your decals within five business days.
“We understand life gets busy, and we don’t want a simple vehicle registration renewal to be something customers worry about,” said Acting Commissioner Linda Ford. “Completing this transaction online takes just minutes and allows customers to spend their valuable time on the things that matter most to them.”
Approximately 232,000 customers a month already renew their vehicle registration online. Why not join them? Get started by visiting dmvNOW.com/SkipTheTrip.
