-In recognition of the Christmas holiday, all DC DMV locations will be closed on Wednesday, December 25. Regular business hours will resume on Thursday, December 26. Many of DC DMV's services will remain available online or via the agency's mobile app.

-We are experiencing a system error that is causing duplicate refund checks to be issued to some DMV customers erroneously. If you have been affected by the glitch, to quickly resolve this matter please deposit or cash one check and destroy the other. If you attempt to cash the second check, it will not be honored by the bank.
We apologize to all DMV customers for the inconvenience as we diligently work to rectify this issue.

-DC DMV will no longer prevent DC residents from applying for a new or renewed driver license because of failing to meet the requirements of the Clean Hands Law.

Parking and Reciprocity Permits

On behalf of the District Department of Transportation (DDOT), which regulates parking in the District, DC DMV issues permits for residential parking privileges to those who qualify. DC DMV also issues vehicle registration reciprocity privileges to those who are permanent residents in other jurisdictions, but who, by law, are allowed reciprocal residency privileges in the District. Reciprocity privileges are also issued to some temporary District residents.

Please note that reciprocity does not allow you to disregard DDOT's parking regulations and restrictions.
