Is your driver's license about to expire?
Register for the free service to receive a voice, email or text message
notification prior to your license expiring.
The registry of motor vehicles stopped
sending driver's
license renewals by mail, saving the state over $800,000
(not to mention a few trees). But drivers miss receiving the reminders. So, a
new service through
Sendza will provide a driver's license renewal reminder to home or cell phone,
by text message or email, to those who register.
The service is free.
