-- NeedTags, an authorized California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) business partner, is highlighting its role in providing online vehicle registration services as the state expands digital options for motorists. The company participates in the DMV’s Business Partner Automation program, which authorizes qualified private entities to process vehicle registration and titling transactions from remote locations under DMV oversight.

The California DMV has invested in online services, self-service kiosks, and contracts with business partners to make routine transactions more accessible without requiring an in‑person office visit. DMV materials note that many services can now be completed online either directly with the DMV or through DMV‑authorized partners, who may charge their own service fees in addition to DMV fees.
DMV Program Broadens Online Access To Registration
As a listed DMV business partner, NeedTags is authorized to perform core registration tasks, including new registrations, registered and legal owner transfers, transactions involving out‑of‑state titles or manufacturer statements of origin, permanent trailer identification transactions, and full‑year registration renewals with the ability to issue replacement stickers and certain original documents. Its services also include reviving junk or salvage vehicles, ordering special or personalized plates, replacing titles, and requesting miscellaneous original documents, as described on the DMV’s NeedTags partner page.
Founder Eddy Asmerian said the company operates within the DMV’s existing framework for digital services. “California motorists today have more options to complete routine DMV business online, including directly with the DMV and through authorized business partners,” Asmerian said. “NeedTags works inside that structure, providing an online path for eligible registration and title transactions that the DMV has delegated to partners.”
NeedTags Processes DMV-Delegated Transactions Online
Through the DMV’s online services portal, drivers can renew registrations, replace documents, order plates, and check status, while business partners provide an additional channel for certain transactions. Within this model, the NeedTags website allows eligible drivers to enter vehicle and registration information, calculate DMV fees, and pay both DMV and partner service fees to complete delegated transactions.
Program guidance explains that business partners, such as NeedTags, are independent companies authorized by contract to process specific DMV transactions and to issue indicia, such as plates and stickers, where permitted. For motorists, registration renewals, certain title transactions, permanent trailer identification tasks, and other listed services may be completed either directly with the DMV or through an authorized partner, depending on preference and eligibility.
Asmerian said NeedTags intends to stay aligned with changes in DMV systems and policy updates. “As the DMV continues to expand and refine its online and partner‑based services, NeedTags will focus on maintaining compliance with program requirements and supporting a clear, rule‑based registration experience for California drivers,” he said.
