DMV Makes Safety a Priority with Enhanced Employee Training Effort

RICHMOND – The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is alerting the public to upcoming delayed openings at our customer service centers (CSC) from October 20-22, 2026. DMV staff is taking a brief step away from the counters to engage in vital safety training. For this important three-day effort, DMV has strategically scheduled office hours to ensure service remains available in every district. 

CSCs will close on a rolling schedule to optimize customer options in each district. Each office will be closed in the morning, reopening at 1 p.m., on one day between October 20-22, and nearby offices will be open to support the closed office. Online transactions will not be affected and those who have vehicle-specific transactions are encouraged to visit a DMV Select. The below schedule shows the specific closure days for each of our 75 CSCs. 

To skip the line and ensure your visit won’t be affected, we encourage customers to make an appointment before you come in. And don’t forget that over 50 transactions can be completed on our website anytime from anywhere. Visit our website to find the DMV Select and full-service DMV locations near you.
