Customers with questions related to emergency business needs, such as obtaining a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) or registering fleet vehicles needed to bring resources to Marylanders, should reach out to MDOT MVA at [email protected].

MDOT MVA self-service VEIP kiosks, online services, and 24-hour kiosks will be available throughout the two suspension on in-person services.

When offices and VEIP stations reopen Monday, January 4, COVID-19 safety measures including plexiglass dividers, social distancing practices and limited seating will remain in place at MDOT MVA branches and VEIP station lobbies. Customers and employees are required to wear a face covering, maintain 6 feet of distance and participate in a brief health screening and temperature scan to enter the building.

Marylanders are reminded that driver’s and business licenses, identification cards, permits and registrations, that expired after March 12, 2020, or are eligible for renewal during the COVID-19 State of Emergency, are extended until further notice.
