Excellent experience 7 out of 5 stars from the 2 security officers to the 3 women involved in addressing the needs of my elderly Mom. My one issue being how careless I was not knowing of this survey and not getting all 5 of their names to commend them. 5 DMV employees doing Virginia proud. I thank them all and this DMV office as well!👍🏼

Professional and friendly, but awfully slow. I was there for two hours to transfer tags and renewal of registration!

I was at the churchland office of the ports. DMV today to take the road test. It has been a long time in the making but with the help of the friendly staff I finally got it accomplished. I was fifth in line outside at 730am and was a walk in and luckily they had an opening at 8am for the road test. They had a few people call in and were short staffed but still opened and ran the office as if it were a regular day with everyone at work. It was a little slow but they all had positive attitudes.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

My wallet was stolen with my ID and social security card in it what do I need to have to get another I'd and social security card

Diana Spratley | Oct 4, 2018
Christopher Vicari | Nov 7, 2021

They will give you a temporary id and mail you the permanent one. I know this is how they all do it in VA. In other states they will hand you your permanent one. I do not like this about waiting hours, you will get the same results via the DMV website

My son coach has lost his original birth certificate as well as his Id. What else can i use to get him an Id card? We're from North Carolina

Tesha Harvey | Oct 4, 2018
Cindy Harvell | Oct 4, 2019

You can get his birth certificate using your Id. You are his mother so they allow it and you get it the same day.

Can they issue temporary tags for a vehicle with an expired inspection sticker and no tags? I need the temporary tags so I can take it in for inspection in order to get it registered.

They can issue temp tags, but that usually comes happens when you purchase a vehicle thru a dealership. Their website should have more detail.

I live out of state and have VA license plates from a car that I sold. I've already deactivated them online. Where can I mail the plates to surrender them in Portsmouth?

Sandi Fields | Oct 3, 2021
Ed Marguglio | Oct 3, 2021

You don't need to surrender them. You may keep them, unless you want to get a partial refund on your registration fees. https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/vehicles/#surrender_plates.asp

Can I come drop off these birth certificate request Nd money since there are no appointments for this need asap

Akia Armstrong | Oct 3, 2021
Ryan Starling | Oct 3, 2021

I don't think so. You can mail them in but they're running 8-12 weeks out, too. Your best bet is to keep checking the website for cancellations and check for other surrounding offices. If you only need a birth certificate, you can also go to Vital Records.

Been Trying To Schedule An Appointment At Dmv In Portsmouth,Norfolk Or Chesapeake Just To Have An I.D. Made.. To No Avail Was I Able To Find One Close.Guess The System Is ScheduledByThe Months Months

Anthony Rodgers | Oct 3, 2020
Ross Newcome | Oct 3, 2020

Unfortunately the appointments are in high demand and are quickly booked for the 3 months they have available. According to their website "DMV Selects do not issue or renew driver's licenses, learner's permits or identification cards." So booking a 3 month appointment with the primary dmv is really your only option unless one of the other satellite services handles ID's.

Being that the business operation hour has changed, back to open from temporarily closed does that mean walk in are still Allowed? Because some people of the community don't have access to the internet.

SORGENIA NATION MEDIA | Oct 3, 2020
Tropic Xotic | Oct 3, 2020

In as much as booking appointments online is the preferred method, if you have no access to the internet, DMV will still make accomodations, if you walk in person to book appointments. Book appointments online or in person to be scheduled for an in person service. Hope this helps.

You can place them in a drop box in downtown Portsmouth, VA near the police station. If you have less than 6 month remaining on the plates you will not get a refund.

How do people who do not have a computer renew their car registration? It appears it can only be done online or in person at a dmv office. The renewal notice I received does not provide for a mail in option.

Correct. If you don't have a computer, get in touch with someone who does.
