DMV’S 65 K Street Facility Closes for Week; Limited Services Relocated
(Washington, DC) The District of Columbia Department of Motor Vehicles announced it is forced to close its facility at 65 K Street, NE due to major HVAC system failures and unhealthy interior conditions. The facility normally houses DMV’s ticket payment and adjudication functions, as well as its call center, permit control, driver record and insurance services. The Department had previously announced the relocation of its driver record and insurance functions to 301 C Street, NW. During the week of August 8–14, other services will be limited to ticket issues related to the release of booted or towed vehicle, the reinstatement of driver’s licenses, and those services normally offered via internet and mail.
