State Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMV)

State Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMV) are government agencies responsible for managing vehicle registration, driver licensing, and vehicle-related regulations within a state. They issue driver's licenses and ID cards, maintain driving records, and ensure compliance with transportation laws. The DMV also handles title transfers, vehicle inspections, and registration renewals. Its primary goal is to promote safe and lawful driving practices, enforce transportation laws, and maintain accurate records for motorists and vehicles registered in the state.
