The Department of Safety in Tennessee is responsible for the licensing of motorists. The Title and Registration Division, part of the Department of Revenue, is responsible for the motor vehicles registration.
In 2006, all functions relating to the Division of Title and Registration started to be administered by the Commissioner of Revenue. Previously the registration and title of motor vehicles was under the control of the Department of Safety in Tennessee. This change was made to assist streamline the responsibilities of the Department of Safety and make the Tennessee government run more efficiently.
