Va DMV electronic signups surpass 1M

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The number of people signed up to receive driver's license and vehicle registration renewals electronically from the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles has surpassed 1 million.

Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb says nearly one in five licensed drivers in Virginia have now signed up to receive emails, texts or phone messages from the DMV.

The agency says it saves 59 cents in printing, processing and postage fees for each renewal notice it doesn't have to send by regular mail.
