DC DMV Celebrates Black History Month
February is Black History Month! We celebrate and remember the history, accomplishments and contributions of Black women and men, past and present. We honor the many legacies of Black people who have shaped our District, nation and world.
New Excise Tax Changes
There has been a recent change to the vehicle excise tax rate due to the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax Amendment Act of 2024.
Effective Monday, February 17, 2025, DC DMV will automatically calculate the vehicle excise tax based on the excise tax formula.
Please note, electric vehicles are no longer exempt from excise tax. To learn more about this important update, visit our website.
DC DMV was glad to be a part of the annual Washington Auto Show once again this January! We participated in the 2025 Tag and Title Seminar, which was an opportunity to speak to Washington Area dealers about the special tag and title issues they face.
The seminar, which focused on proper document processing, inter-jurisdictional coordination and administrative efforts, was attended by over 80 area tag & title processors from Washington Area New Automobile Dealers Association (WANADA) dealerships and National Independent Vehicle Title Agents (NIVTA).
Pictured above from left to right: Online Dealer Interface System (ODIS) Program Coordinator Joelle Flythe, Processing Center Manager David Privott, National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) Program Coordinator LaChelle Johnson-Britton, Management Analyst Kellye Underwood, Vehicle Services Administrator Rakonda Cobb and Vehicle Services Management Analyst Christopher Dina all represented the DC DMV well during the Tag and Title Seminar.
Special guests included other nearby jurisdictions with sessions also presented by the Maryland Department of Transportation, Maryland Motor Vehicle Association and the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles.
