What is the DMV Panel?

The DMV panel is for staff who run your server’s Department of Motor Vehicles. You can issue licences, vehicle registrations and DMV records to any civilian, and manage their points, suspensions and status. Unlike the Civilian panel, you aren’t limited to your own characters, and you can use DMV-only templates. Civilians renew their own documents in the DMV Hub, not here.

Access

You need the DMV panel permission, given on a rank in an Other type department. This one permission covers everything on the panel. See Permissions.
Open the DMV tile from the CAD homepage. You join straight away: there’s no unit to create and no radio on this panel. Run and Record Search work the same as on other panels. See Lookups.

​
Issue a Document

1

Pick a Template

Click New Record and choose a licence, vehicle or DMV record template.
2

Fill in the Form

Enter the civilian’s details. Unlike the Civilian panel, every field is editable.
3

Save

Click Create Record.
The usual rules apply: one licence of each type per civilian, and licence numbers and plates must be unique. My Records lists the documents you’ve created.

​
DMV-Only Templates

Admins can set any licence, vehicle or DMV record template to DMV-only in Records & Reports. Civilians can’t create, edit or delete these documents themselves. Use this for documents that need a test or staff approval.

​
Licences and Vehicles

The Licences card lists suspended, expired and revoked licences. The Vehicles card lists expired and revoked registrations. Each tab shows the 25 most recent. Click Open Licence or Open Vehicle to search for any document. For vehicles, you can only change the status to Active or Revoked. Only the DMV panel can revoke or restore a registration. Officers can still suspend licences with the Suspend Licence permission.

​
Licence Editor

Opening a licence shows its form on the left and these controls on the right. The Law panel uses the same editor. Click Save to apply your changes.
The licence editor only saves status, points and suspensions. To change details like the address or photo, open the licence as a record and click Edit.
