Luray DMV Shut Down After State Review
LURAY, Va. — The only Department of Motor Vehicles office in Page County is now permanently closed.
For years, the Luray DMV Select had been operating under a contract with the DMV to provide limited vehicle-related services.
DMV Select offices are not operated directly by the state agency. Instead, the DMV contracts with local governments and private individuals to offer select services on its behalf. Services include vehicle titles and registration, license plates, permits and parking placards.
According to the DMV website, the Luray office was operated by Audrey Campbell and Tina Campbell.
In an April statement, DMV Public Relations and Media Liaison Camila Barco said the agency had identified “potential inconsistencies with policies and procedures” at the Luray location.
At the time, Barco said the agency was conducting a “quick but thorough review” to ensure all policies and procedures were being followed.
Operations at the Luray DMV Select were suspended pending the review, and the office remained closed.
According to a June 12 statement from Barco, the DMV investigation concluded that the Luray location was not meeting the agency’s standards and procedures and officially ended its agreement with the office as of June 1.
Barco did not go into detail about what specific actions resulted in the review or the termination of the contract.
All DMV signage has been removed from the Fairlane Drive location and the building appears vacant.
According to Barco, customers who need to conduct DMV business can do so online at dmv.virginia.gov or visit other area customer service locations including:
Front Royal DMV Customer Service Center: 15 Water Street
Woodstock DMV Customer Service Center: 714-A North Main Street
