What You Can Handle Here Instead of the OMV
Louisiana licenses Public Tag Agents to process most of the motor vehicle work the Office of Motor Vehicles handles. That means titles, registrations, plates and the notary work that goes with them can be done at our counter in Covington rather than at a state office. Driver’s licenses and State ID cards are not available here yet — we are approved and expect to begin around November 2026. Road tests and written knowledge tests are administered by the state and always will be. If you are not sure which category your errand falls into, call us before you drive over and we will tell you in under a minute.
What We Handle at the Covington Counter
Everything below is processed here as a licensed Louisiana Public Tag Agent, not forwarded to a state office and waited on.
Common Questions About DMV Services in Covington
What people ask us most before making the trip, answered plainly.
Is Title Authority the DMV?
No, and the difference works in your favor. We are a licensed Louisiana Public Tag Agent, authorized by the Office of Motor Vehicles to process most of the same transactions. You get the same result without the state office wait.
Can I renew my driver's license at your Covington office?
Not yet. We are approved for driver’s license work and expect to begin around November 2026, which will cover renewals, REAL ID upgrades, lost or duplicate licenses, first-time issuance and State ID cards. Until then, licenses and State IDs go to the state office. Titles, registrations, plates and notary work we handle today.
What can't you do at your counter?
Driver’s licenses and State ID cards until our rollout is complete, and road tests and written knowledge tests, which the state administers. Beyond that, if it involves a title, a registration, a plate or a notary, call us before assuming you need the state office.
Do I need an appointment for DMV services?
No. Walk-ins Monday to Friday 9:00 to 5:00, Saturday 10:00 to 2:00. Appointments are available if you would rather not wait, and they help if your transaction is complicated.
Can you transfer a vehicle I inherited?
Yes. We handle transfers from a deceased owner into the new owner’s name, and we can notarize the small succession documents during the same visit rather than sending you to a separate notary.
Do you handle mobile homes, antique vehicles and out-of-state titles?
All three. Mobile homes with or without land, vehicles twenty-five years and older, and vehicles coming in from another state. If you have just moved to Louisiana, you have thirty days to register.
How It Works
Most people are in and out in a single visit:
We File It and You Leave Done
We calculate the taxes and fees, submit the transaction, and hand you your plate, sticker or paperwork before you go.
We Check the Paperwork at the Counter
We review the title, bill of sale, identification and insurance before anything is filed, so a missing signature does not cost you a second trip.
Ready When You Are
Before You Drive to the State Office
Call us first. If it is title, registration, plate or notary work, you can almost certainly do it here and skip the line entirely.

This was an amazing experience for me! Friendly helpful and it was great to hand over all documents & he got me all situated! Handed me a paper and said you don’t need it & tossed it. Normally when I buy a car I keep all the papers & here’s this man simplifying what I didn’t need any longer now that I paid him a visit! Great people!
