ASSIST FIRST RESPONDERS ON THE ROAD
www.dmv.state.pa.us
Sign-up Your Emergency Contact Information
with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
on their website. The website is designed to allow
Pennsylvania Department driver’s license and
identification (ID) holders the opportunity to easily
and immediately upload their emergency contact
information to an online database accessible only to
law enforcement and emergency personnel.
The system was developed to ultimately save
lives by cutting down on the time needed to locate
an emergency contact for individuals involved
in situations that render themselves unable to
communicate.
The process begins when a user visits www.dmv.
state.pa.us and clicks on the Emergency Contact
Information button. Customers will log-in using a
secure process that requires the entry of their PA
License or ID number, the last four digits of their social
security number and their date of birth, users will be
taken to a secure page where they can add up to two
emergency contacts. The information can be changed
by the customers at any time by re-entering the secure
site. Access to the information is available only to
law enforcement through a secure law enforcement
connection to the system.
