As part of its initiative to implement newly designed driver licenses, photo identification licenses, and handgun carry permits (collectively “credentials”), the Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Driver License division is deploying new equipment to process credential transactions. New equipment includes new self-service kiosks (“kiosk”). Prior to a kiosk being placed in or on your property, a site survey is conducted. If there is a successful site survey, you will be placed on a list of kiosk partners. Each kiosk partner is required to complete a License Agreement that sets forth the understandings and obligations of the parties and the facility requirements for the kiosk.

Customers can complete a variety of driver license transactions on these self-service kiosks, including paying reinstatement fees, renewing driver licenses, change of address, and more. Deployment will continue throughout the spring.

If you have any questions, or are interested in hosting, please contact Brandon Smith by email at Brandon.L.Smith@tn.gov, or Shannon Geames by email at Shannon.geames@tn.gov.

We would welcome you as a new partner and look forward to working with you to bring services to those in your area.

As part of our ongoing efforts to standardize and improve processes, the City of Nolensville is seeking your input regarding administrative fees for towing vehicles.
