Appointment System

Welcome to the DMV Appointment System. For faster service, please make an appointment before you visit a DMV office.

The online appointment system does not offer appointments for commercial behind-the-wheel driving tests. Please call 1-800-777-0133, during normal business hours to speak with an agent to schedule a commercial behind-the-wheel driving test or to discuss alternative methods for completing the driver license written examination.

Most vehicle registration items may be processed through the mail or Internet and do not require an in-person visit to a DMV office. Registration Renewal Notices for tags are mail-in, Internet or telephone only; appointments should not be made for these items.

For more information, please refer to the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).

Note: To allow you sufficient time for testing, DMV will NOT be administering written or audio exams after 4:30 P.M.
