Vermont.gov’s Most Popular Service Has Grown Steadily Since 2005
Launch
DMV Express,
through which Vermont auto, boat and snowmobile owners renew their
vehicle registrations, issued its one-millionth online renewal this
week. Between 700,000 and 800,000 vehicle registration renewals are
transacted annually, with nearly 30 percent occurring through the online
service, which allows Vermont vehicle owners to enjoy the convenience of
doing business with the Vermont DMV
from the comfort of their homes.
“DMV Express is
hugely popular with Vermonters, and we think that this benchmark is just
the beginning as more citizens become accustomed to using online
services to conduct business with the state,” said Commissioner
Robert Ide.
Launched in 2005 by the state’s e-government partner Vermont
Information Consortium, DMV
Express had about 100,000 users in its first year and has grown
steadily, with over 200,000 citizens expected to use the service in
2012. Accessible online 24/7 at https://secure.vermont.gov/dmv/express,
via IVR (phone) and card swiper kiosks, DMV
Express allows Vermont citizens and businesses to perform motor
vehicle transactions at any time, day or night. The service has securely
processed over $66 million in registration payments since 2005.
Additional online services provided by the Vermont DMV include license
reinstatements at https://secure.vermont.gov/DMV/reinstatement/
, online 72-hour truck permitting at https://secure.vermont.gov/DMV/irp/,
and the Municipal Highways & Bridges Weight Limits service, whose public
search site can be found at http://dmv.vermont.gov/municipal-highways-bridges.
These services were built for the DMV at no cost to Vermont taxpayers
through a unique self-funded model with Vermont Information Consortium.
