Driver's License

If you are domiciled in the city for 30 days or more and operate a vehicle in public space, DC law requires you to obtain a DC Driver's license, unless you are eligible for reciprocity (students, military, members of Congress, government appointee).

DMV offers a number of services related to a driver's license. When obtaining a driver's license, be prepared to also make the following decisions: to become an organ and tissue donor, to register for selective service and to register to vote.
