Is the DMV open today in Tennessee?
In Tennessee, driver licensing is handled by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Driver Services. Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.
Driver Services Centers are closed on every Tennessee state holiday, and the state's own 2026 list is the source for these dates.
Tennessee moves its Columbus Day holiday to the Friday after Thanksgiving, so centers are open on Monday, October 12, 2026.
The governor added Friday, January 2 and Thursday, December 24 as extra closing days in 2026.

Weekend holidays can be observed on the nearest weekday, and a few states handle that differently — the notes above call it out where Tennessee does. The final word is always the agency's own page.
Checked against the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, Driver Services and the state's published holiday schedule, verified August 2026. When a schedule for a new year has not been published yet, this page says so — it never guesses.
