Is the DMV open today in Alabama?
In Alabama, driver licensing is handled by the ALEA Driver License Division. Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.
Driver licenses in Alabama are handled by ALEA driver license offices, and many county probate and license commissioner offices also take renewals on their own hours.
ALEA does not post a holiday list of its own, so these dates come from the State of Alabama 2026 official state holidays published by the State Personnel Department.
Alabama also closes state offices for Confederate Memorial Day in April and Jefferson Davis' Birthday in June.

Weekend holidays can be observed on the nearest weekday, and a few states handle that differently — the notes above call it out where Alabama does. The final word is always the agency's own page.
Checked against the ALEA Driver License Division and the state's published holiday schedule, verified August 2026. When a schedule for a new year has not been published yet, this page says so — it never guesses.
