HARRISBURG – PA House lawmakers approved a bill which would give drivers in PA the option to carry a digital vehicle registration card on their smartphone or device. Bill sponsor, Berks County Rep. Manuel Guzman said his legislation would bring PA into the 21st Century by modernizing a system that has fallen behind the realities of today’s digital world. Since 2016, PennDOT has required drivers who renew online to print their own registration card at home – a burden for many low-income households that cannot afford a printer and the growing number of homes that have gone paperless. Guzman says as our world continues to go digital, it is only fair that PA drivers have the option to carry their vehicle registration on their device, just as they do with so many other important documents. In 2013, PA allowed drivers to carry digital insurance cards and this bill extends that same common sense convenience to registration cards. House Bill 2210 now heads to the state Senate for consideration.
