DMV Select
DMV Selects are a service alternative to visiting a full-service DMV Customer Service Center. Local governments and private entities contract with the DMV to provide secure, select DMV transactions at convenient locations. Selects can process vehicle titling and registration transactions; however, they are prohibited from processing any online or franchise dealership work. DMV Selects do not issue Driver’s Licenses, Lerners Permits or Identification Cards. More information is available at the DMV Website.
