Thanks to the assistance of the office of St. Bernard Parish President Craig

"The return of this office's services is yet another piece of our
community's recovery and again illustrates that good things continue to
happen as a result of our partnerships," Parish President Craig Taffaro
said. 

For the convenience of local citizens, the office will handle the following
transactions: 

*               first-time driver's license issuance 

*               outside road skills tests

*               out of state driver's license transfer 

 

This office is being opened to benefit St. Bernard residents, and the normal
$2 transaction fee that is charged to all customers will cover the rent that
is paid by St. Bernard Parish Government for the facility. This fee was
approved several years ago by the state Legislature to fund all OMV offices
that are housed in facilities paid for by city or parish governments in
areas where the residents wanted an office closer to them for their
convenience.
