What you can do at the Uniontown office

The Uniontown DMV handles most common transactions. You can renew or replace a driver's license, obtain a learner's permit or commercial driver's license (CDL), register or renew vehicle registration, title a vehicle, update your address on your license or registration, and request a duplicate license or registration card.

The office also processes vehicle inspections paperwork, handles name changes on licenses and titles, and can issue Real ID-compliant licenses if you bring the required documents. However, some specialized services — such as commercial vehicle permits or certain out-of-state title transfers — may require a visit to a larger regional office or submission by mail.

Documents to bring for common transactions

For a driver's license renewal: Bring your current Pennsylvania license, proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within 60 days), and your Social Security number. If your license has expired more than five years, you may need to retake the written test.

For vehicle registration: Bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, proof of residency, and the vehicle's title (if registering for the first time in Pennsylvania). If you are registering a used vehicle purchased from a private party, bring the signed title and bill of sale.

For a learner's permit: Bring proof of identity (passport, birth certificate, or state ID), proof of residency, your Social Security number, and proof of Pennsylvania residency. You will take a written test at the office.

For address changes: Bring your current license or registration, proof of your new address, and your Social Security number. This is one of the fastest transactions and often takes under 10 minutes.

Real ID requirements if you plan to fly

Pennsylvania Real ID-compliant licenses are now required for domestic air travel and entry to federal buildings. The Uniontown DMV issues Real ID licenses, but you must bring additional documents beyond a standard renewal.

For a Real ID license, bring your current license, an original or certified copy of your birth certificate, proof of Social Security number (Social Security card, W-2, or tax return), and two forms of proof of residency. One form must show your current address; utility bills, leases, and bank statements all work. The fee is the same as a standard license renewal. Processing takes about 10 minutes at the counter, and your Real ID card arrives by mail in 7 to 10 business days.

Fees and payment methods

Driver's license renewal costs $35.50 for a four-year license or $60 for an eight-year license. Vehicle registration renewal costs vary by vehicle weight and type, typically ranging from $36 to $100 per year. A learner's permit costs $20. Address changes are free.

The Uniontown office accepts cash, check, and debit or credit card. There is no surcharge for card payments. If you are unsure of the exact fee for your transaction, call ahead at the office or check the Pennsylvania DMV website before you visit.

When to call ahead or visit online instead

Some transactions can be completed online or by mail, which saves a trip to Uniontown. You can renew your driver's license online if your license is not expired and you have not had a name change. Vehicle registration renewal can also be done online or by mail if your vehicle passed inspection and you have no outstanding violations.

If you need to replace a lost or stolen license, you must visit in person. The same applies to learner's permits, CDL applications, and title transfers. Before driving to Uniontown, check the Pennsylvania DMV website to see whether your specific transaction can be handled remotely. If you have questions about whether you need to visit, call the Uniontown office at the number listed on the DMV website.
