    noun
    Plural of DMV.

    Drivers complained that the local DMVs had long wait times all summer.

    Several states consolidated their DMVs into fewer regional offices.

    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.
