In theory, booking an appointment in person is a great option as it’s the easiest way to get all the details right. Unfortunately, the reality is that it takes hours and hours until it’s your turn. On top of that, a time slot offered to you will probably be weeks from now. If you want to set up your appointment in person despite this inconvenience, check out a list of branch offices in Nevada to find the nearest one.

Booking an appointment by phone

If you need to do some explaining that you can’t do online, booking an appointment by phone would be the best choice. Unfortunately, getting in touch with the DMV is terribly inconvenient, as the average wait time to get off the automated caller and reach a real person at the Nevada DMV phone number is 42 minutes.

When should I visit the Nevada DMV office?

If you wish to schedule your appointment in person, it's best if you visit the DMV at a time when it's not busy to minimize your wait time. The best option is to arrive early in the morning. The period around two o'clock is often the busiest, so we recommend avoiding it. Mondays, Fridays are typically more hectic than other days in the week, as well as the days after major holidays.

How long am I expected to wait for a DMV Nevada appointment?

There are six DMV offices in Nevada. The Nevada DMV wait time varies between offices, and you can expect to wait between 30 minutes and three hours. To avoid long wait times, booking online is a great option. The average Nevada DMV wait time for advanced scheduled appointments is twenty-three days.
