-In recognition of the Christmas holiday, all DC DMV locations will close at 2 pm on Tuesday, December 24 and 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.
DC DMV may 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. This is a one time only 5-day issuance per vehicle.
The 5-day temporary registration may be obtained in-person at a DC DMV Service Center.
