When will DC DMV open for walk ins again?  My daughter had an appt to register her car yesterday but did not have a paper copy of her insurance (she had an email from GEICO).  The clerk said she could not register without the paper insurance card.  Online appointments are booked for months.  She needs DC plates/permit.  thank you

RPP applies to vehicles.

How does the RPP apply to a trailer if the vehicle with a RPP is not left with the trailer?

The title and registration process is the same as any other vehicle.  See the following link:  https://dmv.dc.gov/service/vehicle-registrations-and-tags
12:16
Once the vehicle is registered and titled in VA, DC cannot charge the normal late fees.
Emily

Thank you. It will still be registered in DC when my DC inspection expires (6/12), which is 5 days before my VA registration appointment (6/17) when I will surrender my DC tags. I made the appointment 2 months ahead of time but unfortunately, this was the earliest I could get. Because of the 5 day lapse, will I be charged the DC inspection fee between 6/12 (when my inspection expires) and 6/17 (when I surrender my tags)?

What do I need to do to register a personal trailer and get a parking permit for it?

Is there an email address I can reach out to regarding violations blocking a registration?
DC Dept of Motor Vehicles
12:08
If the vehicle is not registered in DC anymore (6/17), we cannot charge a late fee.
Emily
12:08
Thank you! I am concerned about the late inspection fee, though, not the late registration fee unfortunately.

I have not been able to get an appointment and can't complete what I need to do online. Trying to get someone on the phone has also not worked.
DC Dept of Motor Vehicles

Currently, the DMV services remain by appointment only.  No date has been determined to change that.  DMV will alert the public if our operational status should change.
Nathan

When will service centers open for non appointment service?
DC Dept of Motor Vehicles

Once the vehicle is completely registered/titled in VA, there will not be any fines from DC.  Just be sure to surrender the DC tags once your business in VA is done.
