2 additional Va. DMV locations reopen

Virginia is continuing to open motor vehicle departments by appointment only.

Another two locations are taking appointments starting Aug. 31. The offices are at Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax County and in Sterling in Loudoun County.

Hours are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

Appointments are required for specific services that generally require in-person service, such as knowledge and behind-the-wheel tests.

Customers should use alternate service methods, such as online or by mail, when possible. Here is a list of services you can do without having to go to a DMV location.

DMV locations opened in phases throughout the summer. An office can only reopen once it has been prepared to provide adequate social distancing and clear plastic partitions have been installed on front counters creating separation between customers and employees, according to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicle’s website.

Completing the FAFSA: Everything you should know

Filling out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which opens by Dec. 31, is one of the most important steps students and their families can take to pay for college. Some states now make completing the FAFSA a high school graduation requirement. The U.S. Department of Education awarded about $111.6 billion in federal grants, loans and work-study funds in fiscal year 2022, according to the most recent Federal Student Aid annual report. Those federal funds will assist roughly 9.8 million students in completing their education.
