According to the New York State Department of Vehicles' website, DMV offices will open back up for limited in-person transactions as part of Phase 3, which should be in a couple weeks here in Western New York.

Also, people will need to make reservations, according to WIVB, per County Clerk Mickey Kearns.

“When I became clerk, we instituted ready, reserve, renew. You heard me talk a lot about making appointments. We’re all ready to make appointments. It’s going to be a new normal for the public, you won’t be able to just go to a building anymore, you’re going to have to make an appointment, and I think that’s going to be good. I think you’re going to see we’re going to be able to control the flow of people,” Kearns said.

In short:

  • Reservations/Appointments are required.
  • Road tests can resume.
  • Critical service transactions will be prioritized.
