DC Municipal Regulations and Register

The DC Office of Documents and Administrative Issuances publishes and certifies the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR) and the District of Columbia Register (DCR).

District of Columbia Municipal Regulations

The DCMR is the official compilation of the permanent rules, statements, and legal documents circulated by DC government executive agencies and departments, the Council of the District of Columbia, and independent entities.

The DCMR currently contains 31 titles and all are available to view online. Printed copies are available for sale from the Office of Documents, and you can view a publications pricelist*.

Amendments to the DCMR are published in the DC Register. If you wish to review amendments, you may see the List of Sections Amended of DC Municipal Regulations*. This list is published in the DCR the first Friday of each month. Hard copies of the list are also available from the Office of Documents and Administrative Issuances immediately upon publication.

District of Columbia Register

The DCR is the weekly official legal bulletin published by the DC government and is the temporary supplement to the DCMR. The District of Columbia Register (DCR) is available online from April 2003.

Printed copies of the DC Register prior to April 2003 are available in any public library in the District of Columbia.
