Beginning Monday, May 18, 2020, the Office of Motor Vehicles will begin providing limited
office services at eleven locations across the state. The limited services include the
issuance/renewal of driver licenses and/or identification cards, ordering a duplicate title, renewing
vehicle registrations, and title transfers.
Customers are urged to continue utilizing the OMV website at www.expresslane.org for available
online services such as driver license renewals, identification card renewals, official driving
records, and duplicate registrations.
Customers are also encouraged to check their driver license status by visiting
www.expresslane.org regarding flags, blocks, suspensions or disqualifications. If a customer has
flags on their record, they must clear those flags prior to obtaining any OMV services.
These limited services will begin in a phased approach at the following locations:

complying with the 25% occupancy capacity during Phase One of Louisiana Re-opening.

Tag Agency. Those customers seeking reinstatements must use one of the following options,
with no exceptions.
