DMV 2 Go to Serve Veterans at Hampton VA Medical Center
Mobile Office Provides All DMV Services Including New Veterans ID Card
RICHMOND - DMV's mobile customer service center called DMV 2 Go will provide all DMV services to veterans, their families, and other customers for the first time on Wednesday, July 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Hampton VA Medical Center located at 100 Emancipation Drive, Hampton, VA, 23667. The mobile office will be parked in the back lot near Building 83. DMV 2 Go will also serve customers at this location on Monday, August 13.
The handicapped-accessible full service office provides all DMV transactions including applying for and renewing driver's licenses, adult and child ID cards, and Virginia's new veterans ID card. Road and knowledge tests are available, and applicants may get their pictures taken and complete vision screenings. Customers can order disabled parking placards or plates, and get vehicle titles, license plates and decals. If Virginians have recently moved, they can stop in to update their addresses on their DMV record, and also update their voter registration and organ donor information.
"We support Governor Bob McDonnell's goal of making government services more easily accessible for our veterans," said DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb. "What better way than to bring services directly to them."
DMV staff will be prepared to assist with services specific to veterans including applying for the new veterans ID card. The veterans ID card allows veterans to easily show veteran status and enables retailers to easily verify the individual's status as a veteran. It's a win/win situation for veteran and retailer.
Staff will also be accepting and processing certificates of disability, which allow veterans to apply for a registration fee exemption. DMV also offers more than 30 military-themed license plates.
Customers are encouraged to research and bring the proper documents to complete their transactions by using the interactive document guide at www.dmvNOW.com.
