Special Event Permit

The Department of For-Hire Vehicles (DFHV) will grant Special Events Permits to for-hire vehicle operators to allow the transporting of passengers during authorized events held in the District of Columbia. Special Permits are required only for vehicles of licensed operators not currently regulated by DFHV. Note: Current Limousine and Non-District permit holders do not need a special event permit for the upcoming Presidential Inauguration activities.

The Special Events Permit fee is $250.00 per vehicle. All payments will be made online. The deadline to apply for Special Permits for the 2025 Presidential Inauguration events is Friday, January 17, 2025, by 3:00 pm EST.

In addition to payment, applicants MUST upload the following with the application:

• Proof of current vehicle registration,

• Proof of insurance, and

• Documentation of licensed or registered limousine or sedan in home jurisdiction.  

• In addition, if the vehicle is a rental, a copy of the rental agreement must be provided.

Complete instructions are included with the online application. The link to the Special Permit application may be found here -  DFHV-Special Events Permit Application (salesforce-sites.com)
