Nevada DMV starts Internet registration renewals program

Monday, May 15, 2000 | 12:04 p.m.

Kim Evans of DMV says residents can renew by Internet using the code number at the top of the form. She said it's a test program so not every renewal has the code number.

But it's a big test, with 1,000 registration renewals and 200 drivers' license renewals going out bearing code numbers every day.

The program started May 3, so the first of those coded letters should have arrived at Nevada homes last week.

Dick Kirkland, who takes over as director of DMV June 1, said that in a matter of weeks the agency expects to roll out the program so that everyone getting a simple, straightforward renewal will be able to do it through the Interet or by phone.

Kirkland said it's another key to simplifying the process of dealing with DMV and reducing the number of people who have to go to a department office and wait in line.

Vehicle registrations can be renewed by phone or Internet providing there are no basic changes in information. For drivers' licenses, the Internet renewal is available to those whose vital information and address are unchanged and who appeared for their eye test and new photo at their last renewal.
