It’s Veterans Day! 8 Places Closed in Georgia Today, and a Few That Aren’t
It’s Veterans Day, and MARTA is running on its usual schedule.
A lot of other places in Georgia are closed, so a quick errand could end at a locked door.
Here’s what’s closed in Georgia today for Veterans Day, and what’s still open.
1. Post Offices
Georgia’s Post Offices follow the national calendar for Veterans Day, and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) lists Wednesday, Nov. 11, on its 2026 holiday calendar.
Last year, USPS closed every Post Office in the country for the holiday, Georgia’s included.
Only Priority Mail Express arrived.
Regular mail delivery resumed the next day.
2. State Offices
Most state agencies are closed today, and Georgia’s 2026 holiday list names Wednesday, Nov. 11 as a day the Capitol and state agencies will be closed.
The Office of the State Treasurer lists a Veterans Day closure for today.
Georgia law adopts the holidays the federal government had designated as of Jan. 1, 2022.
It also orders the governor to close state offices at least 13 days a year.
This year’s state list has 13 days.
Today’s one of them.
3. DDS Customer Service Centers
The Department of Driver Services (DDS) closed all of its customer service centers statewide for Veterans Day weekend in 2023, on Nov. 10 and 11.
DDS is a state agency, and Georgia’s list has state agencies closed today, so its centers should be closed too.
Check the DDS locations page before you drive to a center. Each center has separate hours.
If you only need a license service, check the online services at the end of this list.
4. Gwinnett County Offices
Gwinnett County closes its offices for Veterans Day, according to its holiday schedule, which lists Wednesday, Nov. 11 for 2026.

The schedule makes an exception for operations needed for the safety of residents, plus a Magistrate Court judge at the Gwinnett County Detention Center.
Other counties publish separate schedules, so check yours.
5. Fulton County Libraries
Fulton County’s libraries are closed today.
The Fulton County Library System’s 2026 closing calendar lists Nov. 11 as a holiday when the library and Fulton County are both closed.
Last year, the system’s branches closed on Nov. 11 too, but its digital library stayed available around the clock.
That year, readers were pointed to OverDrive and Libby for ebooks and audiobooks.
6. Federal Courts
The federal court for the Northern District of Georgia lists Veterans Day, Nov. 11, among its court holidays.
Federal law sets Veterans Day as a public holiday for federal employees, and the federal holiday schedule puts it on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
7. Atlanta Fed
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta takes Veterans Day off with the rest of the Federal Reserve System, which lists Nov. 11 among its 2026 holidays.
Your bank’s branches may be open, but the Federal Reserve Banks themselves are closed.
FedACH on Veterans Day
FedACH is the Federal Reserve’s batched payment service for electronic debit and credit transactions.
For Veterans Day hours, Federal Reserve Financial Services publishes its payment-service schedules on its holiday schedules page.
8. Georgia’s Own Credit Union
Georgia’s Own Credit Union closes its offices and branch locations on Veterans Day.
The closure is one of the 11 holidays the credit union observes, according to its 2026 closing list.
If you bank there, the online and mobile options at the end of this list may be your best bet today.
Campuses and Classrooms
Veterans Day doesn’t close every campus.
Gwinnett County Public Schools’ approved 2026-27 calendar doesn’t list a day off on Nov. 11, and it shows Thanksgiving week as the November break.
Other districts publish separate calendars, so check your child’s school.
The University of Georgia’s calendar goes further, listing classes in session and offices open today.
MARTA
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) lists 11 holidays on its holiday operating schedule, and Veterans Day isn’t one of them.
If you’re riding today, check your route’s schedule before you go.
The Georgia Archives
Veterans Day isn’t on the Georgia Archives’ list of 2026 closings, although the Archives says it’s closed for most state and federal holidays.
Research hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday, and you don’t need an appointment.
Original documents are retrieved until 3:30 p.m., so you’ll want to arrive well before then.
