MVA Cuts Ribbon on Renovated Columbia Office

Transportation officials celebrated the reopening of a newly renovated Motor Vehicle Administration center in Columbia on Tuesday.

The new office on Dobbin Road has expanded to include additional services and provide more space for those in Howard County.

One of the new features is a 24-hour service kiosk that offers these services: vehicle registration renewals; driver’s license and ID renewals; administrative flag fee payment; driving records; replacement titles; emissions extensions; duplicate/additional registration cards; driving records; PIN management; duplicate/corrected license and ID cards; and license plate orders.

The Columbia branch opened in 1988 as a way to take pressure off the Gaithersburg location, which is one of the busiest centers and had long wait times, according to a statement from the MVA.

After its recent renovations, the Dobbin Road building encompasses 5,010 square feet. While it officially opened Oct. 20, officials held a ribbon cutting on Oct. 28 to celebrate its expansion.

The Columbia MVA is located at 6490 Dobbin Road, Suite J. It is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday; 8:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday; and there is a 24-hour kiosk. Driver’s licensing services are provided on Saturday. Other vehicle services are not offered on Saturday.
