Note
An initialism pluralized the plain way: a lowercase -s with no apostrophe, which leaves DMV's free for the possessive (the DMV's hours). Context decides which DMVs a writer means. In American usage they are departments of motor vehicles; in British usage, deserted medieval villages. The DMV that names the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia is a single region, so the plural rarely belongs to it.
