DMV Express Offices Closing

Just about every state service took a financial hit during Nevada's recent legislative session - the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) was no exception. As a result, those handy DMV Express offices in Reno, Sparks, and Minden-Gardnerville will be closing for good after business hours on Wednesday, June 24. The main office in Reno, 305 Galletti Way, will remain open. Our neighbors to the south will have to make the trek to Carson City for in person DMV services.

"Closing the three offices will save the department and, by extension the tax payer, about $1 million by 2012," Director Edgar Roberts said. "We don't anticipate a spike in wait times as a result of the closures as the technicians who work in the offices slated to close will be assigned to other offices."

Fortunately, many routine services like license and registration renewals can be accomplished online at the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles website. The site is actually pretty good, so I recommend logging on and researching the service you need before going to the office in person. You may be able to save yourself some time and gas money.
