MVA Your Way: Motor Vehicle Administration Tops One Million myMVA Online Accounts

Accounts provide enhanced customer convenience, access to online services

GLEN BURNIE, MD (March 8, 2023) – The Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration announced today it has surpassed one million myMVA accounts, the latest milestone in the mission to serve all Maryland residents with premier customer service. Launched in December 2021 with the agency’s Customer Connect modernization project, myMVA allows customers to access driver and vehicle information in real time, as well as complete an array of services online.

“The Motor Vehicle Administration continues to expand its services in the branches and online to ensure they are accessible to our customers,” said Administrator Chrissy Nizer. “One million myMVA accounts is a huge accomplishment, and we’re excited to see that number grow as we continue to spread the word about using myMVA to make services more convenient for all Marylanders.”
