Abstract: An automated motor vehicle department transaction system (AMVDTS) and methods of its use can validate customers and documents submitted by customer. An AMVDT can assist customers in locating MVD resources (e.g., kiosks, offices). An AMVDTS can enable the customer to select a transaction at the device from a list of services including at least one of driver's licensing, vehicle registrations, vehicle title transfers, enable the customer to provide pertinent data regarding the transaction via the device, validate at least one of the customer's identity and the pertinent data utilizing validation data resources accessible by the AMVDTS including third party records accessible from a remote server, complete the transaction for the customer utilizing the pertinent data if the customer's identity is validated and the customer provides a valid payment to the AMVDTS for the transaction, and enable printing of official documents for the customer following processing of the valid payment by the AMVDTS.
