Handle driver's licenses, license plates, and disabled person placards in Maryland

After a loved one’s passing, you may need to deal with items such as driver’s licenses, license plates, and handicap placards that have specific rules governing how they are discarded. Because some of these items can be used toward identity theft, it is important you follow these rules.  

You may surrender the driver license, registration, license plates and handicapped placards which were used by the deceased at any open MDOT MVA branch.  If you desire immediate receipts, you may wish to make an appointment. 

If you need assistance in scheduling an appointment, please call 410-768-7000 or 1-800-950-1682 for assistance. Phone agents are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 A.M. to 5:30 P.M.

If you are unable to call during these hours, please reply to the email mvacs@mdot.state.md.us. Include a daytime phone number (Monday through Friday 8:30 A.M. until 5:30 P.M.) should you be contacted for additional information if necessary.
