Is the DMV open today in Maryland?

In Maryland, driver licensing is handled by the Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration (MDOT MVA). 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.

Branch offices stay open the Friday after Thanksgiving. Only Thanksgiving Day itself is closed.

Maryland calls the October holiday Indigenous Peoples' Day, and branches and VEIP stations close that Monday.

Dates come from the MVA's own holidays and closings page; several holidays also close branches on the nearby Saturday, so check before a weekend visit.

Weekend holidays can be observed on the nearest weekday, and a few states handle that differently — the notes above call it out where Maryland does. The final word is always the agency's own page.

Checked against the Maryland Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration (MDOT MVA) 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.
