Department of Motor Vehicles

Due to the Code Purple Air Quality Alert, DC DMV closed its Inspection Station, located at 1001 Half Street SW at 10 am. Customers who planned to visit the inspection station today because their inspection stickers are expiring will be given a five-calendar day extension to renew. DC DMV’s Service Centers will remain open during normal business hours. Many of DC DMV services can be completed online or via the mobile app, allowing customers to “skip-the-trip.”

On February 5, the Georgetown DMV Service Center experienced a significant water main break. Due to flooding impacts, the Georgetown DMV Service Center will remain closed to the public until further notice. DC DMV's services will remain available at our other locations, online and via our mobile app.

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.
