If you own a vehicle in D.C. and recently got a letter from the Department of Motor Vehicles dated October 11 stating that your registration has been suspended because your insurance has lapsed, even though it hasn’t: don’t worry. According to the DMV, an issue which affected “a small percentage of customers” caused the Department to issue the letters, which stated that recipient had to pay $248 to fix the registration issue — and threatened a $300 fine and jail time if the recipient drove without remedying the situation. In an alert, the DMV suggested that vehicle owners make sure that their vehicle is registered using its online verification tool. The DMV will be sending correction letters to all those who erroneously received the notification.
