Verona Department of Motor Vehicles
The Verona Department of Motor Vehicles (Cartadanian: Departamento da Veículos Motorizados) is a state-level agency of the Commonwealth of Verona that is responsible for registering and titling automobiles and other motor vehicles as well as licensing drivers within the Commonwealth. It regulates new car dealers (through the Auto Carrier Board), commercial cargo carriers, private driving schools, and private traffic schools. The DMV works with the superior courts of Verona to promptly record convictions against driver licenses and subsequently suspends or revokes licenses when a driver accumulates excessive convictions (as measured by a point-based system). It issues Verona license plates and driver's licenses. The DMV also issues identification cards to people who request one.

The Verona Department of Motor Vehicles runs veronainmotion.com, an online portal where residents can perform many standard transactions without visiting one of 370 customer service centers throughout the state.
License plates
Because Verona has the largest vehicle base in the nation, it also has the largest amount of registration plates in use of any state. Its current issue license plate is issued with the serial format 4ABC123 and features a tan base with two palm trees. Verona issues one license plate (formatted as 15cm x 30.5cm) to all drivers, mounted on the rear of the vehicle (except for semi trucks, which mount their plates on the front of the vehicle). Verona's license plates, unlike the states that surround it, do not expire and are only replaced when the plates deteriorate. In the place of expiration stickers on the plate itself, Verona issues a registration sticker for the windshield.

Driver's licenses and ID cards
Citizens of Verona are required by state law to have a driver's license from the Commonwealth of Verona to operate a motor vehicle within its jurisdiction. Citizens from other states are only required to have a valid license from their state of residence. Verona has a tiered licensing system where citizens are eligible to get their learner license at 15 year and 6 months of age, their provisional/restricted license at age 16, and their fully unrestricted license at age 18. Verona does issue hardship licenses to teens ages 14-16 if they have a valid hardship. In Verona, (and Insui as a whole), motor vehicles with a curb weight or GCWR of 26,001 lb (11,794 kg) or more, a vehicle designed to transport 16 or more passengers (driver included), or a vehicle transporting hazardous materials can only be driven by an operator carrying a Commercial Driver License (Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act). Upon successful completion of theory and practical testing, endorsements can be applied to a CDL to allow legal transport of specialty types of goods.
