The road test was very trouble some for me. We waited over an hour at the location and no one showed up. I’m wondering if I reschedule, the same thing will happen. Absolutely no direction at all. Really disappointed..

Amazing amazing flowless service, the cop at the entrance very friendly 👏 my paper work was missing some entries and the dmv lady was super nice, she assisted me to fill it our right I was in an out like the flash. Its super clean organised and quick. Parking is available too. I would recommend 👌 💯.

The representative was very good, fast and good manners. The wait was horrible. It took almost 3 hours for me to be served, when they could switch it up and people that come first get served first. From now on I'll probably going to go to the Clifton Park office.

I really like this new location. It is closer to where I live, plus there is way more parking. I really like the lock box which came in handy for my plate surrender. I didn't have to wait on any long line and my paper work and refund from my old plates was completed in about a week. Awesome service!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

How come every single time I try to call no one ever picks up? I'm just trying to figure out if they offer the 25 and Alive course at Schenectady DMV.

Griffer | Sep 3, 2018
Robyne Sack | Sep 3, 2018

It's very frustrating. I have tried calling different times and different days, and STILL nobody answers ... The recorded message tells you to call NYS DMV ..... So you only need to be on hold at least 20 minutes

Do I have to go to DMV for address change?

Marta Bayron | Sep 3, 2019
Michael Reinhart | Sep 2, 2020

No you do not. You can update your address on the DMV website and then write your new address on the back of your ID. If you want a new license with the updated address then you would need to go in.

Your best bet is to go to the DMV. If you do it more then once, your info from those cards can be compromised. I hope you're able to get it done, snowmobiles are fun. Peace!

Yes you should be able to. If you have a social security card and proof or residency a piece of mail with your address that should be good enough. Hope that helps.
