DMV Closed On Columbus Day: New Hampshire State Police Roundup

CONCORD, NH — New Hampshire residents planning a trip to the Division of Motor Vehicles will need to wait an extra day during Columbus Day weekend.

All DMV locations statewide will be closed Monday for an agency-wide employee training day, according to New Hampshire Department of Safety, Division of Motor Vehicles Director John Marasco.

The closure is tied to a comprehensive training day for all DMV employees. The training will focus on customer service, professional development, and emergency preparedness, according to the announcement. The statewide shutdown will allow the agency to hold the training across all DMV locations at the same time.

Marasco said the annual event is intended to build skills across the department and improve how the agency operates day to day.

“This annual training day is designed to enhance the skills of all DMV employees by reinforcing exceptional everyday customer service, supporting their professional growth, strengthening their readiness for emergencies, and promoting effective teamwork to ensure smooth, collaborative operations across all our bureaus,” he said.

Residents who need in-person DMV services may want to plan visits around the one-day shutdown, based on the stated schedule in the announcement.

Normal business hours will resume Tuesday.
