Yes, but because each form has a unique barcode on it, it cannot be downloaded and printed. A new paper version of the driver’s license application is available in field offices for customers who choose not to complete the electronic version. Although, DMV is moving towards a completely paperless process and will begin to phase out the paper application. 

You will sign the form once you visit a DMV field office and complete the process with a DMV employee.

Yes. A parent can use their own email when completing the electronic application for minors, if the minor does not have their own email account.

No. The application is available in 10 languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Tagalog, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Information on the electronic application is only used for a DMV transaction. Although, pursuant to state law, customers who are eligible to register to vote will have their voter registration information shared with the Secretary of State.

No. Before the Secretary of State will register you to vote, you must submit the electronic application to DMV and also complete your transaction at a DMV field office. Once at the field office, a DMV employee will retrieve your driver’s license or identification card application and complete the transaction with you. DMV will then electronically transmit voter information to the Secretary of State to complete the voter registration. Those who indicate eligibility to vote and do not opt out, will be registered to vote.

No. The organ and tissue donor registry will not be completed until an applicant visits a field office and submits the application with a DMV employee as part of your driver’s license or identification card application.

You will receive a confirmation number in your email once you complete and submit the electronic application. A DMV field office employee can use your confirmation number to look up your application.

The online driver’s license application provides a section for parents to complete. Voter pre-registration is available for 16- and 17-year-old applicants. Once they turn 18, they will be registered to vote.  

DMV takes the privacy and security of our customer’s information seriously and has employed measures to ensure the electronic application is secure. If a customer has a Social Security number, the law requires them to provide it on their application.
