Virginia DMV launches online pre-application for original ID card
Table of Contents
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles has launched an online pre-application for Virginians seeking an identification card.
Available on DMV’s newly redesigned website at dmv.virginia.gov, the application is part of DMV’s “start anywhere” services, which allow customers to begin certain applications from the comfort of their own home or on the go.
Services that are currently available to start online include original driver’s licenses, renewals or replacements, name changes, and now original IDs. Customers can also choose to upgrade their credentials to a REAL ID during any of the "start anywhere" driver or ID services.
Customers can find the pre-application for IDs on DMV’s website under “Online Services.” After logging in to their DMV account, customers can begin their application from home and have it electronically submitted to DMV. The service also walks customers through exactly what documents they need to bring with them to complete the process at a DMV customer service center.
