CARSON CITY, NV--A single kiosk installed six months ago at the Carey Avenue branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles in North Las Vegas proved so successful that the government agency has ordered 14 more.

The Las Vegas Sun reported the kiosks are used to renew vehicle registration, with a credit card or cash transaction taking no more than two minutes.

The additional kiosks will be placed in Las Vegas area DMW offices, then expanded into the Reno-Sparks area, said Ginny Lewis, director of the department, in the newspaper article.

Lewis testified before the Nevada Legislative Interim Finance Committee that about 1,000 customers a month use the Carey Avenue kiosk. The legislative committee authorized the department to spend $245,000 on the kiosks. The installations will begin in May.
