DMV warns about its Black Monday
CARSON CITY - Black Friday is a day off for state Department of Motor Vehicles employees. But it's also a warning that Black Monday is approaching, with its hordes of customers who want prompt service.
New DMV Director Troy Dillard hopes Nevadans will spare themselves and his employees unnecessary problems Monday by looking for ways to avoid walking into a Black Monday, as they have dubbed the day that is traditionally their busiest of the year, with wait times of two hours or longer.
"Enjoy your holidays and don't get stuck in the long lines early next week," Dillard said.
Options to avoid his offices can be found on the department's dmvnv.com website.
People can do many DMV transactions online. They also can handle insurance issues over the Internet or by phone. Address changes and license plate orders can be made by mail or fax.
If you must go to an office, the website offers wait times at major DMV offices across the state.
The DMV also has self-service kiosks where some transactions can be completed. It added 25 new kiosks this year in locations such as Albertson's stores in Las Vegas and Scolari's Food and Drug in Reno. Those locations can be found on the agency's website.
