As a subscriber, you received a package of information listing your user id, 4-digit pin code and instructions to obtain records online. Please keep this paperwork for your future reference.


To log in, please go to the Virginia.gov home page www.virginia.gov

  1. Select “Premium Services” from this page.
  2. Next screen: Click on the “Dept. of Motor Vehicles (DMV)” link.
  3. Next screen: Click on “DMV Online Records Access”.

  • Once I have logged into VI:
  1. Which DCJS ID and PIN are you asking for?  Business?


You are required to enter your INDIVIDUAL (NOT BUSINESS)  DCJS Identification number and that 7-digit PIN number that accompanies your individual DCJS identification number.


When entering the DCJS PIN No – Are these letters and numbers (and how can we tell a “zero” from an “O”??)

DCJS Pin numbers have the ability to be 8 characters long. 

The layout is XXNNXXNN where the X's are characters and the N’s are numbers. One major thing to keep in mind is that the XX’s and NN’s are grouped. There are cases where the groups of NN are just a single number. In the same respect, there are groups of XX’s that are just a single character. 

 

Here are some examples of DCJS Pin numbers:
