The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has begun renovations at its Carson City office, with work expected to be completed by the end of the year.
“The current look and feel of the Carson office is quite outdated,” said DMV Director Tonya Laney. “We want our office to be more inviting and comfortable to the public and our staff, so we are excited to see the finished product!”
While the office remains open, construction will mainly take place after hours and on weekends.
During this period, in-person written testing appointments will not be available.
Customers are encouraged to use the KnowToDrive online platform for permit testing. Those with previously scheduled written tests will still be accommodated with paper tests in a designated area inside the office.
Additionally, the information counter will be unavailable, but DMV staff will assist customers with questions and direct foot traffic.
“We ask kindly for patience and cooperation as we transition to a better office to serve our customers,” Laney said. “Those who do not need to visit the Carson office in person, please utilize our online services to avoid possible delays throughout this renovation period.”
The renovations include updates to flooring, countertops, wall coverings, and an expanded test room.
Meanwhile, new DMV online features enhance customer convenience.
In a separate development, the DMV has introduced several new features to its Rapid Registration and Turbo Titles services, marking the largest updates to the DMV Transformation Effort (DTE) to date.
These enhancements are available through the DriveNV portal.
With the latest product updates, Nevadans can now:
Request disabled license plates as part of their first-time vehicle registration
Choose special plate backgrounds during the initial online application process
Register a trailer for the first time
Add emission exemptions during first-time personal vehicle registrations
Title a vehicle acquired from a trust, a court order, a transfer on death, or as a rebuild
“I am so proud of our progress with Rapid Registration and Turbo Titles,” said DMV Director Tonya Laney. “These enhancements will allow an even larger group of Nevadans to use our services—at the convenience of their fingertips! We’re on the right path to accelerating our transformation effort.”
While customers can now access more services online, they will still need to visit a DMV office to submit payment and pick up plates.
However, Laney announced that the DMV is working to soon offer online payment and mail delivery capabilities.
“Our team is working behind the scenes to give our customers what they want, which is online payment and mail delivery,” Laney said. “I am excited to announce that this enhancement is coming really soon, which will be a huge win for everyone!”
