What new service was introduced in April 2013 alongside the reinstatement of the renewal-by-mail program?

The introduction of the renewal-by-internet service in April 2013 represented a significant advancement in how vehicle registrations and renewals could be managed by the public. This online service allows individuals to complete their vehicle registration renewals quickly and conveniently from their own devices, eliminating the need for in-person visits or the wait times associated with phone calls.

The shift to an online platform also aligns with broader trends in digitization, making government services more accessible and efficient for users. This service enhances customer convenience by allowing drivers to handle renewals at any time, without the constraints of traditional office hours, and is particularly beneficial for those who may have difficulty traveling to physical locations.

Additional methods such as renewal by phone or in-person visits may still exist, but they do not provide the same level of convenience and accessibility as the online service. Online MVR services, while related to vehicle registration, pertain more to accessing motor vehicle records rather than the renewal process itself.
