Little Rock, AR – Jonesboro Right Now – Arkansans looking to renew their vehicle tags, buy a hunting license, or check the wait time at the local revenue office can now do it all from a single mobile app.
Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) have officially launched “MyArkansas,” a new platform that consolidates more than 50 state services into one centralized location. Available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play, the app is designed to eliminate the need for residents to navigate multiple state websites for everyday tasks.

“Arkansans have jobs to get to and families to take care of, and accessing state services should be a simple part of their day,” Sanders said. “MyArkansas puts more than 50 state services in the palm of your hand, creating a more streamlined experience… This is another step toward building a state government that respects people’s time and works around their lives.”
Developed in partnership with Login.gov, the app provides direct, secure access to several widely used state resources. Key features currently available on the app include:
- Renewing vehicle registrations
- Checking real-time wait times at local revenue offices
- Purchasing hunting and fishing licenses
- Booking lodging and campsites at Arkansas State Parks
- Requesting vital records
- Applying for an Education Freedom Account
According to a news release, in addition to everyday transactions, MyArkansas can send users automated updates and notifications regarding emergency preparedness alerts, impending tax deadlines, license renewal reminders, and benefits eligibility.
DFA Secretary Jim Hudson emphasized that the platform is built around customer service and convenience.
“Through this new mobile app, Arkansans do not have to search multiple websites to find the appropriate department that offers a needed service. They can simply visit the app and find it immediately,” Hudson said.
The launch of MyArkansas is tied to the administration’s broader “Arkansas Forward” initiative, a push to identify cost-saving measures and improve services across the executive branch’s 15 cabinet-level departments. According to the governor’s office, the state plans to add even more services to the app in future updates.
