Address Confidentiality Program (Safe at Home)

This program helps protect the addresses of individuals who have relocated or plan to relocate due to:

• Domestic violence
• Human trafficking
• Other safety concerns

The program allows participants to use a substitute address to help prevent perpetrators from locating them.

Driver and Vehicle Safety Outreach

The MVA is home to the Maryland Highway Safety Office, whose mission is to reduce deaths and injuries on Maryland roadways.

Safety outreach presentations are available for schools and community groups and cover topics such as:

• Impaired driving (alcohol and drugs)
• Distracted driving
• Aggressive driving
• Pedestrian safety
• Other roadway safety issues

In-School Learner’s Permit Testing

The MVA offers in-school Learner’s Permit testing in Maryland public school districts.

This program allows high school students to take the Learner’s Permit knowledge test at school rather than traveling to an MVA branch.

Students who pass the test will still need to visit an MVA branch to receive their physical learner’s permit.

School administrators interested in participating can submit a request to schedule testing.

MVA Mobile Office (MVA Bus)

The MVA Bus is a mobile office that provides select MVA services to communities with limited access to an MVA branch.
