DMV Guide: Everything You Need to Know For Your State

What is commonly known as the Department of Motor Vehicles, actually has different names depending on your state. In Florida, it's called the FLHSMV, the Florida Highway Safety, and Motor Vehicles, while in Ohio it's the BMV, the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. But the acronym that is most used is the DMV.

The DMV can be a tricky place to navigate with all of its paperwork, lines, and office locations. We here at Aceable have made a guide to make understanding the DMV and the process of getting your drivers license easier.

Let us help you find the DMV office closest to you. We also have practice tests for your drivers permit test and drivers licenses test. Plus guides for less common, but very important topics, such as changing your name or gender on your license.

Saturday Hours and Services at the DMV

The Department of Motor Vehicles, or equivalent in most locations, is a busy place almost always filled with customers and long lines. Because of this, and because it can be difficult for many people to find time during the work week to do business with the DMV, many offices are now open on Saturdays.
