Do I need to make an appointment for a DMV/RMV visit?

Yes, appointments are required for certain DMV/RMV services. However, not all transactions necessitate an appointment. It is advisable to check the DMV/RMV website or call ahead to determine if an appointment is necessary for the service you require. Common transactions that may require appointments include obtaining a new driver's license or learner's permit, taking a road test, renewing a driver's license, or obtaining a REAL ID. Additionally, appointments are usually required for out-of-state transfers, registrations, and title applications. However, many routine transactions, such as renewing vehicle registration or applying for a duplicate license, may be completed without an appointment by visiting a DMV/RMV office during designated walk-in hours. It is recommended to check the specific requirements for your intended visit to plan accordingly.
