2025 Awards Program Brochure
A comprehensive list of all of the 2025 awards winners.
AAMVA’s awards program fosters a tradition of excellence in the motor vehicle and law enforcement community by honoring individuals, teams, and organizations who have committed their time and resources to safety and security initiatives, outstanding customer service, and public affairs and consumer educational programs throughout North America. Each year, AAMVA receives numerous outstanding submissions in each category and through a rigorous judging process selects those that are exemplary. Awards are presented at our Regional Conferences and at our Annual International Conference.

Thank you to all our 2025 Awards Program judges, without whom the program would not be possible.
Eligibility for awards:
- Open to all AAMVA jurisdiction members in good standing (except for the NMVTIS Enforcement Award, which is open to anyone)
- With the exception of the Lifetime Achievement in Roadway Safety Awards, the content of the submissions must have been completed during AAMVA’s previous full fiscal year. For example, submissions for 2026 awards must have been conducted, produced, implemented, and/or developed in FY25 (between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025).
- If an entry won an award in a previous year, it cannot be resubmitted unless it has substantive upgrades or developments from the original submission.
- You may submit only one submission per agency for each award but there is no restriction on the total number of submissions.
