Our four motor vehicle offices serve customers on a walk-in basis. Please keep in mind there may be extended wait times. Registration renewals are only available online, by self-serve kiosk, phone, or mail. Due to the severe labor shortage, registration renewals will not be done in the office.
By checking the wait times for motor vehicle service, you can decide which office to visit, or to delay your visit until the wait is shorter. We advise you not to visit at month-end or near a holiday when offices are busiest.
