CHARLESTON, W.Va.-DMV Commissioner Pat Reed is thrilled to announce today the
implementation of the first DMV Self-Service Terminal (SST), right outside the
Regional Office in Kanawha City, at the Shops at Kanawha.
According to Commissioner Reed, “We
are working hard to make DMV services, especially vehicle registration
renewals, more convenient and accessible to our customers. This
particular SST was unveiled at the West Virginia State Fair by Governor Earl
Ray Tomblin, and is now ready to be our first SST in the field.
Additional SSTs, also known as kiosks, will be installed across the State in
the coming weeks,” she said.
Vehicle registration renewals are one
of DMV’s most requested business transactions. Between July 2015 and July
2016, online vehicle registration renewals through dmv.wv.gov
reached 100,000 transactions. Similar to the online application, self-service
kiosks are designed for renewals. New
vehicle registrations still must be obtained by visiting a DMV office.
With touch-screen monitors, the SSTs will be able to complete a vehicle
registration renewal in less than two minutes through debit or credit card
payments, and will print a registration card and decal during the transaction.
The SSTs will all be located in more
convenient locations that are open 24 hours of the day, seven days a week,
giving DMV customers another avenue in which to conduct their DMV
business. They are highly secure and built to look like an ATM.
Additionally, by next month, West
Virginians also will be able to renew drivers' licenses at the SSTs. More
information will be announced in the coming weeks.
