District of Columbia DMV guides

• Visiting the DC DMV: service centers, appointments, what to bring and what to expect
• DC driver license and ID card: first license, renewal, replacement and REAL ID
• Registering and titling a vehicle in DC: new residents, purchases and renewals
• Where to take the driving test in the District of Columbia

  In the District you can take the road skills test with DC DMV personnel at the Deanwood Road Test Office, by appointment only, or with a third-party tester: a driving instructor at an approved District driving school whom DC DMV has trained and certified. Third-party road tests begin and end at the DC DMV road test facility, you schedule them with the tester directly, and a school that gave you driver education may not also give your road test; DC DMV lists the driving schools with certified testers. Check the agency's page before you book a test.
