Nevada DMV Staff Shortages Causing Problems
TheĀ Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles is experiencing staff shortages, which is causing severe problems with their “appointment only” operations atĀ DMVĀ offices across the state.
If you thought long waits at your localĀ DMVĀ were bad before theĀ COVID-19Ā pandemic, the problem appears to be getting worse since last summer when they switched their operations over to “appointment-only.” According to an article written byĀ Alyssa Bethencourt onĀ KTNV.com,Ā Nevada residents are having to wait up to four weeks to book an appointment online.
The Nevada DMVĀ hoped to eliminate long lines at their offices by switching over to appointment only operations. Unfortunately, due to these staff shortages, instead of waiting hours at theĀ DMVĀ office, we are waiting weeks just to be seen. PerĀ Bethencourt’sĀ article, “At the beginning of February, 49 positions were open in Las Vegas DMV offices.”Ā DMVĀ officials say they are running about four weeks behind on appointments.
So, besides hiring more staff, what are the solutions being offered? TheĀ KTNV.com article explains that theĀ DMV hopes that within the next two years they will be able to transition most of the services they offer online to alleviate this backlog of in-person appointments.
There are also twoĀ AAAĀ offices in theĀ Las Vegas Valley which offer manyĀ DMVĀ services.Ā Bethencourt’sĀ article locates these offices atĀ 927 South Rainbow BoulevardĀ andĀ 6905 North Aliante Parkway.
Although theĀ Nevada DMVĀ locations no longer offer walk-in appointments on weekdays, they do offer them onĀ Saturdays.Ā However, they warn that you should be prepared for a very long wait.
