LAS VEGAS, NV (KXNT) - The Nevada DMV is reopening its appointment services to the public and, beginning Monday, June 22, will serve only customers with appointments at the offices in Las Vegas, Henderson, Carson City and Reno.
The change will help eliminate the long lines that have formed outside the offices since the DMV resumed limited in-person services on June 15. Procedures at rural and commercial offices will not change.
Appointment scheduling for general services will be availableon the DMV website, dmvnv.com.
“We thank our customers for their cooperation over the past week as we took care of those with the most urgent needs,” said Director Butler said. “We’re ready to go with appointments, but I want to stress that our other reopening procedures haven’t changed. If you can drive legally, please delay your DMV visit until mid-July or later. Visit our website first.”
Meanwhile, the DMV temporarily suspended all non-commercial driving skills tests statewide after one drive examiner in at the west Flamingo location Las Vegas contracted Coronavirus.
The examiner reported feeling ill prior to reporting for work last Wednesday. TBecause of the proximity to those taking the exam, the examiner was wearing full personal protective equipment, including a face shield, mask, gloves and gown during all tests performed on Monday and Tuesday. Drive tests resumed this past Monday for the first time since the Department closed on March 16 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The case has been reported to the Southern Nevada Health District for investigation. Employees and individuals with whom the examiner may have come into contact will be notified by the Health District.
Driving skills tests will resume on Monday.
