Virginia's Mobile DMV Office Sets Up in Hurricane-Impacted Areas
DMV 2 Go Serving Customers in Henrico, Gloucester
RICHMOND - The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles¿ mobile customer service centers are providing customer service at two closed DMV offices without power after Hurricane-Irene.

Both DMV 2 Go mobile offices are handicapped-accessible and provide all DMV transactions including applying for and renewing driver's licenses and ID cards, ordering disabled parking placards or plates, and getting vehicle titles, license plates and decals. Also, Virginians can stop in to update their address on their DMV record, their voter registration address and organ donor status.
