Initially 11 locations were scheduled to reopen, but due to Executive Order Sixty-Two, delaying the implementation of Phase One of the reopening, the Richmond Central and Onancock Customer Service Centers will be delayed until after Thursday, May 28. This includes DMV offices in certain Northern Virginia jurisdictions.
DMV Commissioner Richard D. Holcomb says the DMV experience will look a lot different than what customer may be used to.
“As we welcome back customers, we want Virginians to know we have put a lot of thought and effort into this phased approach to make sure that we can open our offices safely,” said Holcomb.
“Operational adjustments included in the phased reopening plan will enable DMV to limit the number of customers and employees in each location to ensure social distancing protocols while providing safe and efficient services,” DMV officials said in a release. “Service windows will have partitions between the customer and DMV employee, seating will be limited and spaced, and customers will be asked to stay in their vehicles until 10 minutes prior to their appointment to accommodate social distancing requirements.”
