The BMV (Bureau of Motor Vehicles) is a government agency in many states of the U.S. responsible for handling motor vehicle-related services and documentation. Their tasks often include:

- Issuing Driver’s Licenses & ID Cards: The BMV handles the issuance of driver’s licenses, permits, and state ID cards, which include processing renewals and replacements.
- Vehicle Registration: They manage the registration of motor vehicles, including renewing registration, issuing license plates, and handling title transfers when vehicles are bought or sold.
- Driving Records & Title Services: The BMV maintains driver histories, provides vehicle title documents, and processes title transfers.
- Road Tests: Some BMVs conduct driving tests for people to obtain a new driver’s license, especially for those getting their first license or upgrading to a different class.
- Traffic Violations: In some states, they manage certain aspects of traffic violations, like processing fines or suspensions related to things like DUIs or points on your driving record.
