What to know about the Woodbridge consulate
Watch the street number: the current office, opened in December 2023, is at 14517 Potomac Mills Rd. The RNPN website and some directories still show 14572, which was the previous location, and that office's phone numbers are unverified.
Same-day DUI printing has been available since 2021. For a simple renewal or replacement, you can skip the trip and use dui.sv/exterior for $55.
Richmond has no consulate of its own; Woodbridge covers it with mobile consulates (2023 and 2024), as it does Falls Church and the Virginia Beach–Norfolk area. A 2023 release addressed residents of the entire state of Virginia.
