State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) agencies eventually learn when a person is deceased, but the notification is rarely instantaneous. State DMVs typically receive updates through periodic cross-matching with the Social Security Administration's Death Master File, state vital statistics departments recording death certificates, or when family members formally submit certified paperwork to surrender a driver's license and cancel vehicle registrations.
