All DAR offices across the state are closed until further notice. Any DAR-issued license, permit, or registry that was valid as of March 17, 2020 will continue to be honored as valid until further notice. People may apply online for new licenses, permits, and registrations, but the actual license, permit, and registration documents will not be mailed until the DAR office reopens.
