Maryland MVA Launches Emergency Contact Information Registry

The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) has launched an Emergency Contact Information program that will help law enforcement officials notify emergency contacts in the event a person is injured in a vehicle accident and unable to communicate.

The Emergency Contact Information Registry is a database in which holders of a valid Maryland driver's license or identification card can voluntarily list emergency contact information stored electronically on their driving record. Valid Maryland driver's license or state of Maryland identification card holders can provide the name and contact information for one, two, or three persons who they wish to be notified in the event of an emergency.

Individuals may submit their Emergency Contact information online at www.mva.maryland.gov, or via MVA Kiosks which are located in all MVA offices. The information is secure and can only be accessed by authorized law enforcement personnel. Participants can add, modify, or delete their emergency contact information at any time by visiting www.mva.maryland.gov. Any modifications or deletions will overwrite all previously entered information. For Marylanders who voluntarily add emergency contact information to the database, law enforcement will be able to quickly get word to their loved ones in the event of a serious accident.
