Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) announced it has added an emergency contact option to Maryland driver's licenses. Maryland drivers can now add three emergency contacts to their driver's license so police will know who to call if an accident occurs. The emergency contact information is stored electronically on an individual's driver's license and will be available only to authorized law enforcement personnel.
You can go to MVA's website at www.mva.maryland.gov and add your three emergency contacts in just a few minutes. Go to the website, click "On-line Transactions, then click "More" and then click "Emergency Contacts" to add your emergency contacts. The entire process takes less than 10 minutes.
The Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles has Calling 511 from any mobile or land line or logging onto www.md511.org provides free one-stop shopping for travel information on State maintained roadways, including travel times, incident or work zone lane closures, and more.
Another note: The MVA will no longer be sending out regular reminders that your driver’s license will need to be renewed. It’s your responsibility to keep track of when it’s due for renewal. And be careful, if you miss your renewal date for over a year, you will have to take a driver’s test again. |
