Is the DMV open today in Arkansas?

In Arkansas, driver licensing is handled by the Office of Driver Services, Department of Finance and Administration. 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.

Arkansas handles driver licenses and vehicle work at state revenue offices run by the Department of Finance and Administration.

Arkansas closes state offices on Christmas Eve as well as Christmas Day, and does not close for Juneteenth or Columbus Day.

The department does not post a holiday list of its own, so these dates come from the Arkansas Secretary of State's 2026 state holidays schedule.
