A Message from DC DMV Director Gabriel Robinson

Greetings, DC! The 2026-2027 school year is just around the corner. As students return to school this month, we want to remind you to please slow down when driving in neighborhood school zones and watch for children crossing the street and near bus stops. 

In this month's newsletter, the team has curated a selection of items that cover pedestrian safety tips for our kids who are returning to school, how to update your address with the DMV if you have moved, a recent award the agency was presented with, a new license plate unveiling, and a reminder for our upcoming Labor Day holiday closure.

As always, your feedback is important to us. Please write us a letter or join me for the DC DMV Live Chat, held the first Thursday of each month. Our next online live chat is scheduled for Thursday, September 3, at 12 p.m. For a full hour, I will respond in real-time to any of your DMV-related questions.

To stay up to date on all things DC DMV year-round, follow us across our social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn.    

Thank you for reading the August 2026 edition of our newsletter. Stay cool, DC!  

- Director Gabriel Robinson
