- Amend a Current Driver License/Learner Permit or Identification Card

- New Registration
- Disability Placard
Driving skill exams are not available at this time, the BMV said.
Transactions that can be done online, at a BMV kiosk or by phone or mail include renewing your driver license, learner permit or identification card, renewing your registration, getting a registration amendment and getting a duplicate registration or title. Those transactions are not available by appointment.
