Good Afternoon...I have 2 red light tickets in the same area, 1 before 12 a.m. and the other after. I would like to contest these tickets because I am not from the area and was not aware of the speed limit. However, my problem is that I have misplaced the tickets. How can I go about finding or obtaining copies of these tickets?

Yes.  Credentials that expired during the public health emergency are still valid until July 1, 2021.

Sorry to maybe be not allowing you enough time to answer (also plez forgive my accidental send of a partial question). I'm glad the Credential extension is still in effect. Does that mean that the DC driver licenses of myself and my wife--with expiration dates in August 2020 and January 2021, respectively--remain valid as the primary source documents required to show Proof of Ability to Drive needed to acquire a Real ID license?

If the DC DMC Credential Extension Update of 7/16/21 in no longer in effect, on what date did the extension’s termination occur? The Update said would take place “45 days after the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency concludes.”

No knowledge test is required if your license is covered under the current waiver in order to renew.

With regard to acquiring a Real ID license, if an applicant already has a valid DC driver license, must they take the Knowledge Test?

Those without a REAL Compliant credential should make an in-person appointment.
12:03
Individuals with a REAL ID Credential can renew online or through the DCDMV free App.  Look for the "black star" in the right corner of your license or ID to determine if you are REAL ID compliant.

If the DC DMV Credential Extension Update of 7/16/20 is still in effect, does that mean that the DC driver licenses of myself and my wife--with expiration dates in August 2020 and January 2021, respectively--remain valid as the primary source documents required to show Proof of Ability to Drive needed to acquire a Real ID license?

Is the DC DMV Credential Extension Update that you issued on July 16, 2020 still in effect?

I'm now ready to take your questions related to any DMV service and activity. If you have a question not related to DMV, I'll try my best to redirect you to the appropriate agency.  Also, I may not be able to answer specific questions which require research related to DMV issues since I only have an hour to chat. Therefore, if your question is specific to your driver license, a ticket, etc, I may request you submit it to us by email (dmv@dc.gov) or service request (http://311.dc.gov).

Good afternoon and welcome to today’s online chat with me, Gabriel Robinson, DMV Director. Today, we’ll discuss your various DMV issues related to driver licenses and identification cards; vehicle inspections, titles and registrations; and the adjudication of photo, parking and moving violations. We have over 55 online services (http://dmv.dc.gov/page/online-services) and seven facilities which provide in-person service to 2,800-3,300 daily customers. In regards to tickets, we have two main sister agencies: DDOT which regulates parking (i.e., signage, meters and parking permits) and DPW/DDOT which issues parking tickets, along with 30 plus other entities in the District. Also, MPD issues photo enforcement tickets.
