DMV is experiencing impact to our services. Thank you for being patient with us as we continue to troubleshoot. Service centers are open, however individual services may be impacted. The self-service kiosks at the Fort Stanton and Takoma Rec Centers are open. We are troubleshooting at the Inspection Station on Half Street. Virtual hearings are still taking place at Adjudication Services. We encourage customers to utilize our online services. DC DMV has over 60 services available online.
