>Is DMV not trustworthy?

They can and they have bungled non-trivial subsets of the data and records they are entrusted with in the past. Having a public non-DMV source of truth would really help the consumer from getting the shaft in these cases. Of course, doing that in a useful way would likely violate people's privacy to the extent it becomes a non-starter.

That said, I think this is gonna wind up being a lateral move. Best, best, best case "blockchain" was just the magic marketing word they had to use in order to finally get management buy-in to shit-can some problem vendor or team responsible for the systems "blockchain" is gonna replace.

You lost me at "public". What do you mean by it? I don't want the information on my driver's license to be public.
