@dcdmv Trying to renew my car registration but the system is showing an Insurance lapse for a car I used to lease, which I returned in early 2025. Now there’s a big fine. Never received a letter and DMV staff unhelpful. Can someone please help??

BEFORE A TORNADO: - Secure loose outdoor objects like trash cans, outdoor furniture, and other items that could become dangerous flying debris during a tornado. - Charge your phone and other communication, medical, or assistive devices in case of a power outage. - Identify a safe space to shelter if a Tornado Warning is issued. Visit ready.dc.gov/pages/hazard-t… for more safety tips. DURING A TORNADO: - Go to the nearest sturdy building if you are outside or in a vehicle. - Move to an interior room on the lowest floor if possible. STAY AWAY from windows.
