PennDOT Closes Drivers Centers for Thanksgiving Holiday

No doubt you have plenty of other things on your plate this week besides renewing your driver's license or taking a driver's test. But if those tasks are on your to-do list this week, better hurry and wrap them up by Wednesday.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will close all driver license and photo centers, including its full-service center in Harrisburg, Thursday and Friday to observe the Thanksgiving holiday. 

Motorists still may obtain some products and information around the clock every day through PennDOT’s driver and vehicle services website. Free online services include:

  • Driver’s license and photo ID renewals
  • Vehicle registration renewals
  • Driver-history services
  • Changes of address
  • Driver license and vehicle registration restoration letters
  • Exam scheduling 

Also, before you head out to the relatives' house for dinner or dessert through this busy week and weekend, PennDOT suggests that you check out 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions.
