Texas.gov/Driver puts citizens first in
line
This spring, Texas.gov is launching its 2015 advertising
campaign encouraging Texans to visit Texas.gov/Driver for all their
driving-related government business. The new campaign features
30-second television commercials airing in the Austin area during
March and again in September. Spanish versions of the commercials
are airing on Telemundo and Univision in El Paso during the same
time. The campaign also includes interactive advertising on Tremor
and Hulu, as well as online banner ads that can be seen
statewide.
Featuring fun-loving characters “Kurt Fresco” and “Dancing Mom”,
the campaign shows just how easy it is to always get the first spot
in line when taking care of your driver business on Texas.gov. In
fact, every year more and more Texans are realizing that a quick
trip online to complete these services is much easier and more
convenient than visiting a local office. In 2014, Texas.gov
securely processed more driving-related online transactions than
ever before, including more than 2.9 million vehicle registration
renewals, over 1.3 million driver license/ID renewals, 765,000
driver record orders, and nearly 128,000 driver license
reinstatement payments.
Before visiting Texas.gov/Driver, here are a few quick tips to
note about online driver services offered by Texas.gov:
- Vehicle Registration Renewal – Every
county in Texas offers online vehicle registration renewal. Vehicle
inspections (if necessary) must be completed before renewing
vehicle registrations online.
- Driver License Renewal – Renew driver
license or ID online up to a year before and a year after
expiration date. In addition, changes of address on driving
licenses need to be completed within 30 days and that can be done
quickly and efficiently online.
- Driver Records – Order and print
personal driver records, including certified versions required for
defensive driving courses.
- Driver License Reinstatement – Pay
reinstatement fees and check driving eligibility status at any time
with this convenient online service.
In addition, Texans can: order a birth certificate, purchase
TDCJ commissary items, pay CHIP enrollment fees, apply for or renew a concealed handgun license, and much more. With more than
1,000 online services, secure payment processing and friendly 24/7
customer service, Texas.gov is a convenient, fuel-efficient way to
take care of many government services online.
Consumer Alert: In order to safely take care of your
government business online, beware of unofficial, look-alike
websites operated by private organizations that may charge
unnecessary fees for services or information. Instead, make sure
you are using the State’s official website, www.texas.gov, or an
official state agency website to complete your online transaction.
To access an official website, enter the URL in the address bar at
the top of your Internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) instead of entering the address in a
search engine bar (e.g. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.). Also look for
the .gov or .state.tx.us extension which will be
present in the URLs of all official Texas state government
websites.
