Last May, the DMV switched to appointments for in-person services to follow COVID safety guidelines. Author: Allison Bazzle Updated: 11:34 PM EDT April 7, 2021 VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Things are opening up in Virginia, but not the DMV. You still need an appointment for some services, and those are still hard to come by! That’s frustrating for people in Hampton Roads. DMV officials said it’s challenging for them too. “I went online to try to make an appointment,” said Chesapeake resident Viviana Escobar. “Every single DMV in the 757, the earliest booking was June 11.” Escobar’s old license from another state expires in May. She needed a Virginia license, but couldn’t score a DMV appointment anywhere nearby
