Eleven Office of Motor Vehicles offices are now providing limited office services. The limited services include the issuance/renewal of driver licenses and/or identification cards, ordering a duplicate title, renewing vehicle registrations, and title transfers.
The Coushatta motor vehicle office will remain closed at this time. The nearest operating office to Red River Parish is the one in Shreveport. The website for the full list of OMV offices is https://offices.omv.la.gov/.
Customers are urged to continue utilizing the OMV website at http://www.expresslane.org for available online services such as driver license renewals, identification card renewals, official driving records, and duplicate registrations.
Customers are also encouraged to check their driver license status by visiting http://www.expresslane.org regarding flags, blocks, suspensions or disqualifications. If a customer has flags on their record, they must clear those flags prior to obtaining any OMV services.
