Q: It's time to renew my registration. I've heard that the DMV has new online features that make it easy to handle my DMV related business without having to go online. Can I renew my registration online too?
A: Yes! As long as you have a renewal notice with a special RIN Number, a Smog certification filed with the DMV (if needed) and a renewal notice that shows your current address OR have used the online Change of Address system and confirmed through the Change of Address system that your address has been updated with the DMV, you can use this convenient and secure online service. Go to www.DMV.ca.gov and select Online Services and then click on Vehicle Registration.
Q: I would like to sign up to be an organ donor. Do I need to go into the DMV to do that?
A: No! Go to www.DMV.ca.gov and click on the Donate Life California logo. Not only can you sign up to donate, but you can learn about the myths and misconceptions of being an organ donor, and read donor and recipient stories.
Q: I am getting ready to retake my driver license test. It's been years since I've had to take one. Are their any resources I can use to refresh my memory and learn about new laws?
A: Yes! Go to www.DMV.ca.gov and click on the Publications link. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Sample Test link. There are a variety of tests for you to take to prepare for your exam! If you need some additional resources, the California Driver Handbook is also located under the Publications link.
