Currently, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles does not offer the option of setting up an appointment prior to your visit. You may choose an office nearby and visit it at a time that suits you. Please use the following tips to avoid long lines:

• Do not arrive on Mondays and Fridays; these days are usually the busiest.
• Do not arrive on a day after a public holiday.
• Do not arrive at the beginning of the month.

Many issues may be resolved online through the official DMV online services website. The online service system can help you with such things as address changes, drivers license renewal, plate purchase, and vehicle registration renewal. These services were designed to improve and streamline your DMV experience and are guaranteed to save you time.

If your request requires you to appear in person, you can locate a VA DMV office here.
