Rural DMV offices move to appointment-only service

Rural DMV offices move to appointment-only service

The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles announced that its rural offices in Elko, Fallon, Mesquite, and Yerington are now operating by appointment only.

DMV Director Tonya Laney said the change follows the success of scheduled service in the state’s larger metropolitan offices. “We are slowly shifting each rural office to appointment-only to ensure customers can plan ahead, avoid long waits, and receive the same consistent level of service,” Laney said.

Appointments can be made only one day in advance, a policy the DMV says helps prevent offices from becoming overbooked.

The agency is encouraging residents to plan early and schedule ahead, reminding customers not to wait until the last minute for available time slots.

Appointments can be made online at dmv.nv.gov.
