PennDOT License Center Closed For Juneteenth

MALVERN — PennDOT driver license and photo centers, including the Malvern Center at Route 30 and Marlin Road, will be closed Saturday through Monday, June 20 in observance of Juneteenth National Freedom Day.

Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865, when union soldiers reached Galveston, Texas - the furthest point in the south - with news of the end of the Civil War.

Slaves were previously unaware they had been freed more than two years earlier when President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, or that Confederate General Robert E. Lee had surrendered in Virginia two months earlier.

Customers may still obtain a variety of driver and vehicle products and services, including all forms, publications and driver training manuals, online through PennDOT's Driver and Vehicle Services website.

There are no additional fees for using online services.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
