From DC.gov:

The District of Columbia Department of Motor Vehicles Georgetown Service Center, located at 3222 M Street, NW in the Georgetown Park Mall – Lower Level, is experiencing an air conditioning outage. Temperatures were at 89 degrees inside the facility at 8:15 am (the scheduled opening time) and will not open for service today, July 19. Seventeen customers were waiting outside the facility prior to the scheduled opening and were allowed to come into the facility to process their transactions. Signage was posted to inform the public of today’s closure with hours and locations of the DMV’s other three service centers located in Southeast, Northeast and Southwest Washington.

The facility’s management is working to resolve the air conditioning issues and we anticipate reopening on Friday, July 20 for normal hours of operation. Normal hours of operation at the Georgetown Service Center are 8:15 am to 4 pm Monday – Friday. The Georgetown Service Center provides vehicle registrations and renewals, titles, driver license and identification cards issuance and renewals.

All other DMV Service Center locations are open and operating under normal hours. We got at least one report of the C Street branch being so overcrowded early this morning that one D.C. resident who had been dead set on fighting a parking ticket gave up and went home to pay the ticket online. If you were planning on going to the DMV today and can put it off, we’d recommend it.
