It ensures that drivers meet safety and legal requirements, and it oversees the issuance of driver's licenses, vehicle titles, and license plates. In addition to these services, the DMV also conducts driving tests to assess a person's ability to operate a vehicle safely. The agency plays a crucial role in maintaining road safety and ensuring that all vehicles on the road are properly registered and insured.
