Why I didn’t get my handicapped card, it was in the papers I submitted to the lady.

Hi there, yes the vehicle will need to be able to pass inspections. Please have the vehicle assessed at the DMV Inspection Station.

Thank you - so just confirming, I'll need to pass inspections but won't need to repair the damage first? I'm considering a buy-back but won't do it if it requires repair since it'll be too costly.

Hello, thank you for your question. Yes, the vehicle will need to pass both DC safety and MPD anti-theft inspections. More information about this can be found here: Salvage Vehicle Title/Registration | dmv

Good afternoon, I had a question on Salvage Vehicle Title/Registration. My vehicle was considered a "total loss" by the insurance company, however the damage is only cosmetic and does not impact safety or ability to drive the vehicle. Do I need to certify that I've repaired the damage to the vehicle before I can re-register it in DC, or does it just need to pass a safety inspection and the MPD’s anti-theft inspection? And can you please explain what the anti-theft inspection entails?

I'm 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 (Submit a request – MyDVASupport) or via 311 service request (http://311.dc.gov).

Good afternoon and welcome to today’s online chat with me, Chiderah Monde, DMV’s public information officer. 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 60 online services (http://dmv.dc.gov/page/online-services) and seven facilities which provide in-person services to over 3,000 daily customers. Regarding 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.

Good morning, please submit your questions now. The chat session begins at 12PM (NOON) ET.
