DMVNow works with other agencies to provide additional products and services using its nationwide presence. Any DMV customer service center can provide certified copies of Virginia life records (birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates) and hunting and fishing licenses. Select locations offer E-ZPass toll transponders.
The DMVNow portal provides registration and renewal information online. Residents both new and old are familiar with all the new Virginia DMV laws and can easily find electronic forms or driving schools. It is a great way to learn more about Virginia insurance requirements and then to shop for and purchase Virginia car insurance online.
