Maryland Local DMV Office FAQs

1. How do I renew my Maryland driver’s license?

Maryland offers several convenient renewal options through the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). If you’re eligible—meaning you hold a valid license with no major changes to your personal information—you can renew online using the MVA’s secure portal. Otherwise, you may renew in person at your local MVA office by bringing your current license along with proof of identity and Maryland residency. In‑person renewals might also require a vision test.

2. What documents are required to register a vehicle in Maryland?

To register your vehicle in Maryland, you must provide proof of ownership, which is typically demonstrated through your vehicle title or an out‑of‑state registration if you’re transferring from another state, along with a completed registration application. You’ll also need to present proof of valid Maryland auto insurance and documents that verify your residency, such as a utility bill or lease agreement. Depending on your specific circumstances or the type of vehicle, additional documentation—like a VIN verification or emissions test certificate—may be required.

3. How do I transfer my out‑of‑state driver’s license to Maryland?

New residents in Maryland are required to convert their out‑of‑state driver’s license within 60 days of establishing residency. To complete the transfer, visit your nearest MVA office with your current license, acceptable proof of identity (such as a passport or birth certificate), your Social Security documentation, and two documents verifying your Maryland residency. A vision test is generally required, and if your out‑of‑state license is expired or nearly expired, you may also need to pass a written exam.
