Nevada DMV: Avoid long wait lines on 'Black Monday' by using kiosks, online services
CARSON CITY – The Nevada DMV is asking the public to use appointments, online services and kiosks to avoid long wait times after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
The Monday after Thanksgiving, informally called “Black Monday,” is the busiest day of the year for the DMV, said Director Terri Albertson.
“We have a lot of ways to help you save time with the DMV. Visit our website first. If you do have to visit an office, make an appointment,” she said.
The DMV website, dmvnv.com, offers nearly two dozen online transactions including address changes, driver history printouts, personalized plate orders and even original registration for vehicle purchase from a Nevada dealer.
“DMV in a Box” kiosks can print registration decals and driver history printouts on the spot and many take cash.
DMV offices will also be closed on Monday, December 25 and Monday, January 1, in observance of Christmas and New Year's.
Wait times are always higher on the first day after a holiday and the department suggests using alternatives or appointments on those days as well.
