Beginning Tuesday, July 14, Service NL’s Motor Registration Division (MRD) and Government Service Centres will begin their next phase of resuming services affected by the public health emergency. Citizens will be able to visit their local office for licence plate replacement, vehicle transfer, in-transit permits and the transfer of driver’s licences and vehicles for those moving to the province.
These services will be available by appointment only through the eServices portal on Service NL’s homepage. Clients who do not have access to the eServices portal can call 1-877-636-6867 to have a representative assist them in booking an appointment.
In an effort to further enhance service delivery, the online appointment booking system will be available for all MRD and Government Service Centre locations throughout the province as of tomorrow, July 8. Previously, this service was available for the Mount Pearl location only. The online calendar will be available for clients to book appointments for services beginning the week of July 14 at their local service centre. Clients who have already submitted a transaction via email do not need to book an appointment, as additional resources are in place to complete these service requests.
The Provincial Government continues to explore opportunities to expedite service delivery and make transactions more easily accessible to the public, as the province continues through the levels of the alert system. There has been significant uptake in the use of government’s online services since the public health emergency. More than 98 per cent of vehicle renewals have been conducted online, and over 92 per cent of drivers have renewed their licence via the web.
Quote
“As we continue to navigate through the public health emergency, we are gradually resuming services while also trying to ensure the safety and well-being of employees and the public. Expanding online appointment bookings is a convenient way to adhere to the public health guidelines and facilitate services at the same time.”
