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.
