The United States Department of Motor Vehicles (better known as the DMV) is a state-run government agency that’s responsible for things like driver licensing—such as issuing and renewals—as well as vehicle registration. Because the DMV is operated by each individual state, there's no single contact number or email at which you can reach them. To get in touch with the DMV, you must contact the agency managing the department in the state concerned. However, there are usually several ways to contact DMV agencies, including by phone, email, snail mail, and in person.

Steps

Looking for information online. Every DMV office for every state has its own website, and those sites are excellent resources for people who need to connect with the DMV. A quick Internet search for the state plus “DMV” will almost always get you where you want to go. DMV websites have resources and information about: Where offices are in different regions Sample tests License renewals and information Making appointments

Find a phone number. If you need to contact the DMV by phone, almost every state’s DMV provides phone numbers online. Look for the Contact Us link on their website. You can also check the phonebook for the address and phone number for your local DMV office.

Send them an email. The Contact Us page for most DMV offices will either provide an email address at which you can contact them, or will provide an online form you can fill out to send them an email.
