The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles is now offering more online service options for customers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Customers now may visit http://dmvNOW.com to replace their commercial driver’s license, driver’s license learner’s permit, driver privilege card or learner’s permit, or limited duration driver’s license, permit or CDL. Online credential replacements are only available to customers age 18 and older. These transactions previously required an in-person visit.

"DMV continues to add online options to not only make service more convenient, but to create additional appointment opportunities for customers who need in-person service," said DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb. "Customers have come to rely on alternate means of service for every aspect of life during the COVID-19 pandemic and we will continue to look for ways to meet new expectations."

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, DMV navigated to an appointment-only operational model for in-person service and has increased the number of online transactions to more than 50, necessitating fewer in-person visits. Some of the most popular online transactions include vehicle registration renewals, driver’s license renewals, and requests for vehicle and driver transcripts.

Credentials ordered online are mailed to the applicant.
