Office of Administrative Hearings

As of 10/21/2026 the District of Columbia's Office of Administrative Hearings efiling and final order search portal are undergoing necessary maintenance. Once complete, these portals will be back online as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Effective August 13, 2026, OAH no longer has jurisdiction to conduct hearings for Notices of Infraction issued by the Department of For Hire Vehicles (DFHV). Jurisdiction to conduct these hearings has been transferred to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). See DFHV Hearings for more information..
