RICHMOND, Va. – If going to the DMV has crossed your to-do list within the past year, you know how hard it has been to get an appointment or even talk with a representative. Now, things are getting easier.
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles is introducing more convenient service options for customers during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
Here’s how it will work:
Juvenile Licenses
DMV is working with the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts statewide to help juveniles obtain their first-time driver’s licenses in a timely manner during the pandemic. Under normal circumstances, driver’s licenses for customers under age 18 are sent to the judge of the customer’s local Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. The Court then conducts a licensing ceremony to provide the customer their license. Due to the pandemic, some Courts are no longer holding licensing ceremonies. DMV is now able to work with the Courts to determine which localities are not holding licensing ceremonies so those driver’s licenses can be sent directly to the minors.
