The DMV, or Department of Motor Vehicles, is a government agency in the United States responsible for managing vehicle registration and driver licensing. It oversees the issuance of driver's licenses, identification cards, and vehicle titles, ensuring that all drivers meet safety and legal requirements. In addition to licensing, the DMV handles various services such as vehicle inspections, renewals, and record keeping. Each state has its own DMV, which may operate under different names, but they all serve the same essential functions to promote road safety and compliance with traffic laws.
