There will not be a resumption in dealer walk-in services, and dealers are encouraged to continue availing themselves of the DC DMV’s online services where possible. Please review the DMV’s latest update for more information about best practices for getting dealer transactions processed in an expedited a fashion as possible.
We also encourage dealers in the region to utilize the District’s Online Dealer Interface System for title processing work. For assistance, please email the ODIS helpdesk at odis.helpdesk@dc.gov .
