The Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles is asking walk-in customers to use online services or kiosks after the Thanksgiving weekend or to delay visiting an office until later in the week due to heavy traffic.
The Monday after Thanksgiving is traditionally the department’s busiest day of the year, leading some of the staff to call it “Black Monday.”
DMV offices will be closed four days from Thanksgiving Day, November 25 through Sunday, November 28.
Customers who don’t have an appointment are expected to face wait times that are much longer than usual.
“Enjoy your holidays and don’t get stuck in the long wait times early next week,” said DMV Director Julie Butler. “We have more ways than ever to do business online or at a kiosk.”
The department’s website offers two dozen online transactions, including address changes and personalized plate orders.
Under a new feature added this year, motorists buying a car from a Nevada dealer can choose one of more than 30 charitable license plates when registering the car online.
The agency has 41 self-service kiosks at supermarkets, other partner locations and DMV offices across the state.
Kiosks can process and print a registration renewal certificate and decal on the spot.
