DC DMV will issue a 5-day temporary registration if your vehicle inspection and registration stickers are expired. You must have your vehicle inspected before the 5-day temporary registration expires. Once it expires, you will not be issued another one. This is a one time only option per vehicle. The 5-day temporary registration may be obtained in-person at a DC DMV Service Center. A list of DC DMV Service Centers is available at the link below:
