Enjoy a faster, easier, more personalized experience when you create and use your MyDMV account. Benefits include managing your vehicle, driver’s license, and ID addresses all in one place, using the "Garage" to see each vehicle’s status, viewing your DL/ID statuses, and managing your communication preferences, including digital notices. Note: you must have a California driver's license or ID to create a MyDMV account.
