PennDOT will close all driver license and photo centers this weekend to observe Juneteenth

All centers will be closed from Saturday, June 17 through Monday, June 19, the official Juneteenth holiday, PennDOT said.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced that all driver's license and photo centers, including its full-service center in Harrisburg, will be closed from Saturday to Monday in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. 

June 19, known as Juneteenth National Freedom Day, is an official annual observance in Pennsylvania, PennDOT said in a press release. Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers reached Galveston, Texas – the furthest point in the South – with news of the end of the Civil War. Juneteenth is a day to commemorate emancipation and the steps taken toward freedom.

Customers may still obtain a variety of driver and vehicle products and services, including all forms, publications and driver training manuals, online through PennDOT’s Driver and Vehicle Services website, www.dmv.pa.gov.     

Driver and vehicle online services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and include driver’s license, photo ID and vehicle registration renewals; driver-history services; changes of address; driver license and vehicle registration restoration letters; ability to pay driver license or vehicle insurance restoration fee; driver license and photo ID duplicates; and driver exam scheduling. 

There are no additional fees for using online services.
