This is a personal public service…
This is a personal public service announcement! Needtags' website appears to imitate the DMV's website and make you believe you are dealing directly with the DMV. Tell everyone you know to make damn sure they are using the DMVs website. If this is not a scam, then it is pretty darn close to a scam because you can use the DMV's website and not get charged a bunch of unnecessary fees and expenses. Again, tell all your friends and family to double and triple check that they are only using the DMV's website to pay renewals, fees, etc.
Response from NeedTagsFeb 18, 2025
Thank you for your review Terry. We appreciate your time. NeedTags strives to provide full transparency. We are not the DMV and make absolutely no claims to that effect. NeedTags is in fact a delegated provider for the California Department of Motor Vehicles. On the header of every page of our website we display the following text, as per California Business Partner Automation requirements, “NOTICE: NeedTags has been officially licensed by the California Department of Motor Vehicles to provide DMV services on their behalf. NeedTags is not owned or operated by any government agency and charges fees for value-add DMV services pursuant to CVC Section 1685. Standard service may be obtained from the DMV at no cost.” Furthermore, The NeedTags' website displays to all customers, before they are asked for any payment information, all fees due, including DMV fees, our service fees, and a detailed explanation of the processes required for order completion. It is impossible to bypass these requirements. You'll be glad to know that this time around you've renewed your vehicle's DMV registration through California highest rated online registration service provider! Although the registration renewal interface (portal) for our users is online, the real work is done behind-the-scenes, by our awesome employees, and we're doing our very best to keep our offices staffed and continue offering our valued customers the expedited DMV services they've come to expect from us, including our super speedy next-day shipping, instant download of your renewed registration card, and our above par customer support.
