FAQ / What to Expect from the New York DMV /
For your convenience, the New York DMV offers an extensive list of services available online so you don’t have to visit the DMV in person. However, some transactions can’t be done online. If you have to visit a location you can schedule an appointment using our New York DMV office directory to find your closest location.
If you’re renewing a driver’s license, you can do so up to a year before it expires or 2 years after its expiration and you can avoid going in person by renewing online and doing your vision test with Cleared to Drive. We submit your results to the DMV digitally and you can then process your renewal at the DMV’s website. You’ll receive your new license in the mail within 10 business days.
