DC DMV issues RPPs to eligible vehicles as part of the vehicle registration process. You can visit a DC DMV service center, provide your vehicle registration card, valid DC DMV credential or reciprocity permit, and pay the applicable fees.
You may also request an RPP online during the renewal of your vehicle registration. If you need RPP and it is not time to renew your registration, you must make an in-person visit to a DC DMV service center. Details here.
