We want to sincerely thank everyone we’ve had the pleasure of assisting over the past month. Your continued support keeps us busy and reminds us how much we’re accomplishing together. In just the first 26 days of May, we processed nearly 3,000 transactions for our patrons, not including titles submitted by local dealers and financial institutions.
As we move forward, we’re preparing for several ITD changes to take effect on July 1. Registration decals will no longer be printed or required, and the 10-year plate replacement rule will move to an “as needed” basis. To prepare for these changes, ITD already implemented the plate replacement update in May. If your license plates are faded, peeling, cracked, or losing their reflective coating, please request replacements during your next visit. Damaged plates may result in a citation from law enforcement, and we don’t want that.
We’re also excited for the launch of the new white-and-black Idaho plates on July 1, which we expect will be very popular.
In early June, we’ll receive information and our official training with ITD on the new Identity Validation legislation passed this session. This will affect how motor vehicle offices verify identity for new vehicle credentials in Idaho. At this time, ITD has not yet provided detailed guidance, but we will share updates with you as soon as more information becomes available.
Thank you again for your continued support. Our DMV office would not be what it is without all of you.
(P.S. – Don’t forget to get your Parks & Recreation registrations and permits with us before your summer fun!)
