NYS Making It Easier For DMV Transactions

How do you feel about going to the DMV? The Department of Motor Vehicles? Do you try to avoid it at all costs? Do you think that you will be sitting, waiting for hours for a simple transaction? The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles wants to change that and they have been working on solutions to make your DMV experience smoother.

One of their new solutions is mydmv, on online portal to accomplish many of the tasks that you would do in their office. Here are a few of the things you can do through the new mydmv website:

• MyDMV Services
  Change the address on your license & registrations
  Get own driving record (abstract)
  Monitor your teen driver (TEENS)
  Check your license/driving privilege status
  Check your registration information and status
  Restore a license after revocation
  Register to become an organ, eye or tissue donor
  Register to vote

Also by registering with the MyDmv site, you will no longer receive (unless you opt-in for it) registration renewal reminders. The NYS DMV will stop mailing paper reminders to people in order to save costs on printing and postage. Should you still want to get the paper reminders in the mail, you will need to "opt-in' to do so.
