DMV going to summer hours after Memorial Day, closing at 4 p.m.

Press Release, Orleans County Clerk Nadine Hanlon

ALBION – Orleans County Clerk Nadine Hanlon said that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will begin summer hours the Tuesday after Memorial Day, May 27. Summer hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and are in effect until Labor Day.

Residents are asked to be in line by 3:15 p.m. to be served. Those taking CDL exams must be in the DMV by 1:30 p.m. so there is enough time allowed to complete the exam.

“The DMV has been especially busy of late and we are doing our best to get people through the line as quickly as possible,” Hanlon said. “One way to expedite the process is to understand what documents you need to process the transaction and have your paperwork in order.”

Hanlon said many questions about DMV transactions can be answered at www.dmv.ny.gov.  In addition, the DMV Document Guide at https://dmv.ny.gov/more-info/dmv-document-guide will provide a detailed list of what you need to bring to the office to make your visit a success.

Hanlon also reminded residents that you need a Real ID/Enhanced License to fly domestically.  If you currently have a star or a flag on your license, you are compliant. Also keep in mind that if you have a passport, this will work as well. If you have more REAL ID questions please visit https://www.tsa.gov/real-id/real-id-faqs.
