FORT EUSTIS, Va. –
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles is reaching out to Fort Eustis personnel through their innovative DMV 2 Go, a mobile customer service center that provides DMV services at convenient locations.
The office-on-wheels is handicapped-accessible and equipped to process all DMV transactions, such as applying for or renewing driver's licenses, ordering disabled parking placards or plates and ordering driving records.
For many military personnel, particularly those transferring to Fort Eustis from other states, the mobile offices provide ease of access to important licensing and administrative functions right on the installation, preventing Soldiers from taking time away from the mission.
"It provides a way of DMV needs to reach out to people," said Jonathan Butner, assistant manager of the Richmond DMV mobile unit. "We reach out to the service members of the military. It's a way of taking pressure off the DMV office, bringing DMV service to the locations that are helping the public."
In addition to military bases, DMV 2 Go visits businesses, university and college campuses, assisted living facilities and retirement communities.
The department uses mobile units in the Northern Virginia, Richmond, Tidewater and Roanoke areas, with a fifth visiting small town offices that only handle vehicle transactions. While each vehicle stays on location for one day at a time, the mobile unit will stay in the area throughout the week.
The DMV 2 Go's customer service hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
