About

You can sign up to get email and/or text reminders before your driver license, non-driver ID card, registration, or vehicle inspection expires.  DMV will also enroll you after you complete an online registration renewal transaction. You can update your subscription at any time.

To get registration renewal and inspection reminders, you must be the primary registrant (the first name listed on a registration, if the vehicle is registered to more than one person).

You won’t get reminders if your registration is not eligible to renew (for example, you can’t renew if the registration is suspended or revoked).

Commercial driver license (CDL) and commercial learner permit (CLP) holders can also sign up to get email and/or text reminders regarding the status of their medical certifications and medical variances.

To enroll in electronic reminders or update your contact information, you must create or log into your MyDMV account. 

To sign up for MyDMV, you will need

  • The CID from your photo document (see sample documents)
  • The Document Number from your most recent photo document (see sample documents)
  • Your date of birth
  • The state and ZIP code from your DMV address on file
  • The last 4 digits of your Social Security Number

During the enrollment process, you will be asked to set up two-factor authentication and shared secrets, which will let you access your profile more easily on future visits. If you need help with online transactions, see About Online Transactions.

DMV Email and Text Message Address

If you received an email from [email protected] and/or a text message from 22710 it is because you are enrolled in the DMV Electronic Reminders program. Links within the email may begin with “lnks.gd” and will direct you to official state government websites. Please do not reply to the email or text message. You will not receive a response. If you need to, see how to contact us.

If you feel that you have been contacted to obtain your personal information, please let us know. A description of the event or, if possible, a screenshot can be emailed to [email protected].

Message Frequency

The total number of emails you receive will depend on how many vehicles you have registered, in addition to the reminders for your driver license or non-driver ID card.  For each ID card, registration, and inspection, you will receive three renewal reminders, between 75 and 90 days, 45 and 60 days, and 30 and 45 days until expiration.  The first of these may seem very early, but an email failure will alert the DMV with enough time to send paper reminders instead.  If you do not renew before expiration, you will receive a notification that the ID card, registration, or inspection has expired. If your driver license, non-driver ID, registration, inspection, medical certification or medical variance is close to expiring when you sign up, you may not get electronic reminders until the next time it’s due.
