Non-District registered limousine companies and independent operators may apply for the Non-District Limousine (NDL) Permit. NDL permit holders are authorized to provide point-to-point servicies within the District of Columbia. The fee for NDL permits per vehicle is $650 for one (1) year or $1,000 for two (2) years. 

To apply for an NDL permit you must submit a complete application, a Certificate of Clean Hands from DC Office of Tax and Revenue, operating authority from your home jurisdiction, vehicle registration, vehicle insurance, and driver’s license. Please note, all documents must be valid and not expired. The name of the entity on the application must match the name on the Certificate of Clean Hands and the operating authority.

DFHV shall issue a decision to approve or deny NDL applications within five (5) business days of receipt of a complete application. Applicants must make payments for approved applications online within five (5) business days of approval. No payments will be accepted at DFHV’s physical location. DFHV will issue one decal per vehicle affiliated with an approved NDL application. Decals will be sent to customers via mail.

Note: Active NDL permit holders do not require a Special Events Permit to operate in the District of Columbia during special events, such as Presidential Inaugurations.

New companies and operators: Submit an application here. New NDL applicants do not need to create a company portal. Once a new application is submitted, a company portal is created concurrently.

Current permit holders: can access company information, add vehicles and operators, submit NDL permit renewal applications, and request replacement permits for a fee by logging into their company portal.

If you do not have access to your company portal, please email the Non-District Limousine Program at [email protected].
