This Wednesday, Feb. 14 program will run from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. (PST) and will be a virtual meeting via WebEx. Registration is required at http://tinyurl.com/ye275wd7.

Hundreds of organizations attended the previous DMV Vendor Days, which generated multiple vendor presentations. The DMV incorporated several of the ideas and implemented solutions that created new service channels to better serve its customers.
Following the session, interested vendors will be invited to submit ideas/solutions that address the DMV’s objectives. Once submissions are received, the DMV will invite a select group to formally present their ideas on how to best achieve one or more of the detailed objectives.

Mobile technicians capturing REAL ID applications outside of field offices;
