ROCHESTER, N.Y. \u2014 The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles announced on Friday that it will introduce the first segment of its new, modernized technology system, designed to provide customers with a more modern and streamlined service starting next month. DMV offices will be temporarily closed during the installation.<\/p>\n
The modernized system will allow employees to make transactions more effectively and efficiently on one platform, instead of moving between outdated systems that are more complicated. This will allow for a one-trip visit to a DMV office. Online transactions will also be more accessible. <\/p>\n
MORE INFORMATION ON THE CHANGES: New York overhauling driver point system, changes could impact your license and insurance<\/a><\/p>\n The DMV will be closed during the renovation over Presidents\u2019 Day weekend, starting on Friday, February 13, at 2 p.m. Businesses will reopen on the following Wednesday, February 18. <\/p>\n The temporary closure will make DMV online transactions, in-person, and phone services unavailable. <\/p>\n This comes after recent years of the DMV making changes to increase online and phone services to prepare in-person visits and reservations, reducing customer wait time. <\/p>\n \u201cWith one consolidated, state-of-the-art system, we will be replacing hundreds of software applications, some of which date back to the days of Nelson Rockefeller,\u201d\u00a0said DMV Commissioner and Chair of the Governor\u2019s Traffic Safety Committee Mark J.F. Schroeder.\u00a0<\/p>\n The next phase of the renovations is expected for 2028.<\/p>\n For more information on license and transaction opportunities ahead of the brief closure, click the DMV\u2019s Online License & ID Transactions page here.<\/a><\/p>\n RELATED: Monroe County DMVs will close on some Fridays for next four months<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFor Related Stories:\u00a0renovations<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0DMV<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ROCHESTER, N.Y. \u2014 The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles announced on Friday that it will introduce…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":102430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[31287,9,11,10,49,51,50,6338],"class_list":{"0":"post-102429","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-dmv","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-headlines","11":"tag-new-york-news","12":"tag-new-york-state","13":"tag-new-york-state-headlines","14":"tag-new-york-state-news","15":"tag-renovations"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=102429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/102429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=102429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=102429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=102429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
