After a year of limited service by appointment only, the D.C. Department of Motor Vehicles will return to its regular practice of “first come, first served” next month.

DMV appointments made through Saturday, July 17 will be honored, but they will no longer be offered after that date, Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office said in a news release. DMV Service Centers will open to walk-ins starting Tuesday, July 20 (the adjudication services center will open the day before).

D.C. resumed parking enforcement this month, sending residents in a rush to get to the DMV to renew their licenses and tags ahead of a July 1 deadline. With appointments in short supply, city officials pushed the renewal deadline back to September 9.

To accommodate demand, the DMV is also holding extended weekend hours for the 95 M Street SW location and the Inspection Station on the following dates: June 27, July 3, July 11, and July 18.

Residents will still need to make appointments to schedule road tests for commercial and noncommercial driver licenses. Meanwhile, many other services can be completed online, including license renewal for people who already have a REAL ID.
