The West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles’ (DMV) efforts to make their services more accessible to citizens has once again earned national attention. The DMV’s IT program is nominated in the StateScoop 50 Awards for the State IT Program of the Year category. The finalist will be decided by public votes made prior to the April 17 deadline. The DMV encourages the public to help recognize the program and people involved in its success by visiting http://go.wv.gov/votedmv and selecting and voting for "West Virginia Online Vehicle Registration Renewal."

“We are proud that our online services continue to be nationally recognized, “ said Pat Reed, DMV Commissioner. “Online and mobile services make it easy and convenient for citizens to interact with the DMV. Bringing more services online will continue to be a focus of the West Virginia DMV.”

The award winning service allows citizens to easily renew their vehicle registration online by entering property tax payment information instead of providing a printed receipt. In addition, citizens can have their renewal processed faster than by mail, receive an email with printable registration card upon DMV approval, and easily upgrade to a two-year renewal. Citizens can use the service any time, day or night, to renew vehicle registrations online with the DMV by visiting http://dmv.wv.gov.

Online Vehicle Registration Renewals joins existing DMV online services such as Driver’s License Status Check, Driver Record Purchase, Driver’s License Reinstatement Fee Payments, Personalized Plate Search and Duplicate Registration Cards, Plates and Decals.

The StateScoop 50 Awards is a national program that recognizes the best and the brightest who make state government more efficient and effective. Awards are given out in multiple categories with a total of 50 nominees awarded. The State IT Program of the Year is given to the best example of influential State and Local IT programs that have delivered cost savings and superior performance.
