An estimated 1 million customers added the email option in 2023, saving the DMV about $1 million in paper and mailing costs this year alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cOur customer-focused digital transformation is all about giving Californians more convenient ways to conduct DMV business, including environmentally friendly options like paperless renewal notices,\u201d said DMV Director Steve Gordon. \u201cCalifornians who signed up to receive emailed renewal notices this year saved 1 million pieces of paper and another million envelopes \u2013 imagine the environmental impact if every customer chose this option.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering email notifications is just one example of <a href=\"\/portal\/es\/news-and-media\/dmv-spreading-holiday-cheer-californians-saving-time-doing-more-online\/\">the DMV\u2019s digital transformation under the Newsom Administration and Director Gordon\u2019s leadership<\/a>. The DMV has doubled the number of services available online (from 20 in 2018 to 48 today), cut transaction times by two-thirds, removed obstacles so staff can process transactions more quickly, and empowered customers with the tools they need for a smooth experience if they do visit an office \u2013 where wait times are now just a fraction of what they were just a few years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dmv-columns content-columns colums-1-2-1-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dmv-column col\">\n<p>Here are the latest numbers for Californians who have decided to go paperless:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>About 1.8 million licensed drivers or ID cardholders have signed up for paperless driver\u2019s license\/identification card renewal notices since the DMV began offering the option in July 2021.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nearly 765,000 vehicle owners have opted in for paperless vehicle registration renewal notices since January 2022.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dmv-column col\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"361\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dmv.ca.gov\/portal\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Go-Green.jpg\" alt=\"Man smiling while holding tablet.

The move to digitizing services, providing renewal notices by email, accepting electronic or digital signatures, and making more DMV tasks available online reduces the department\u2019s use of paper by more than 330 tons each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sign up for Paperless Notices: <\/strong>It is easy to <a href=\"\/portal\/es\/paperless-notices\/\">sign up for paperless renewal notices<\/a>. Customers sign into their MyDMV account and select the option to receive renewal notices by email for their driver\u2019s license, identification card, and\/or vehicle registration.
