***November 5, 2020: We are pleased to announce that there is now a designated drop box for DMV, conveniently located in the front of the building, Building A of the Municipal Center complex. Please feel free to utilize this drop box for transactions that may not require an appointment (examples of those transactions are listed below, with the instructions on forms that are needed and how to submit that information).

Updated Information regarding phone numbers when scheduling an appointment: 

When scheduling an appointment, please note that the phone number you are entering should be a cell phone number that accepts text messages and can access a weblink. The system we use incorporates text messaging for an appointment reminder as well as sending a weblink for the check-in process. If you do not have a phone number capable of these functions, please do not enter a phone number and make sure to click “No Phone” when you schedule the appointment.

If you are utilizing the “No Phone” option, please make sure that you remain in your car until about 5 minutes before your appointment. At that time, please exit your vehicle and come to the door at DMV. Someone will be out to greet you. Please provide your full name and that you are here for an appointment.

We appreciate your continued understanding in this matter. We are all in this together.

Please be advised that effective June 22, 2020, the Washington County DMV is open BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.
