DMV changing its walk-in, appointment calendars

A new option is coming for those who need to visit the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles.

The DMV announced Tuesday that it will offer “Walk-In Wednesdays” starting July 12. Customers will be able to visit the department’s offices on Wednesday without an appointment.

Walk-in customers will generally be given a ticket with a return time, the DMV said. Once they return, they will be issued a call number for their turn to walk up to a window.

In addition, the DMV will allow customers to make appointments for Saturdays starting July 15.

“Staffing on Saturdays has always been challenging, but the demand for services on our walk-in day is very high,” DMV Director Julie Butler said in a press release. “Having the opportunity to serve our walk-in customers on a weekday will allow us to put our best foot forward and ensure we help as many walk-in customers as we can.”

In August, citing staff shortages and increased demand, the DMV switched to appointments only for those needing to conduct an in-person weekday visit, with walk-in services available on Saturdays.
