DMV Program
The Diplomatic Motor Vehicles (DMV) Division was established in early 1984 and, in August of that year, became OFM's cornerstone program responsible for a full range of motor vehicle services for the foreign mission community. This nationwide program, which is administered in accordance with U.S. laws, regulates the acquisition, registration, and disposition of all motor vehicles belonging to foreign missions and their members. It verifies that mandated insurance standards are maintained; ensures that members of the foreign mission community and their families are issued U.S. Department of State driver licenses, and monitors driving records to ensure unsafe drivers are removed from the road. The program also is designed to achieve reciprocal treatment of foreign missions and their personnel based on favorable treatment of U.S. Missions and personnel abroad in motor vehicle-related matters as well as facilitate community outreach with local law enforcement in the Foreign Mission community.
