How Do I Get a Reno DMV Appointment? (2026)

Book it free at dmv.nv.gov. Reno has one DMV office, at 9155 Double Diamond Parkway, and in-person service there is by appointment only. If a map, a listing or an old article sends you to 305 Galletti Way, it is out of date: that office closed permanently and Double Diamond Parkway replaced it.

How do I book a Reno DMV appointment?

1. Go to the appointments page at dmv.nv.gov.
2. Choose the Reno office.
3. Pick General Appointment for most license, ID and vehicle business, or Drive Test for a road test. They are separate calendars.
4. Save the confirmation and take it with you.

Booking is free. If you get stuck, the information desk at any Nevada DMV office will help you book.

How do I get a Reno DMV appointment sooner?

Check on Tuesday evening from 8 p.m. The Nevada DMV releases last-minute Wednesday appointments the night before, starting at 8 p.m., at its metropolitan offices, and Reno is one of them. It is the one release time the state publishes, and it is your best chance at a short-notice slot.

If Reno has nothing soon, look at Carson City, 555 Wright Way, which keeps its own calendar. It is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with no Saturday hours, and it is not part of the Tuesday 8 p.m. release.

What can I do at the Reno DMV without an appointment?

Nevada says all DMV services are by appointment only, with four exceptions:

• Dropping off license plates
• Paying past-due debt
• VIN inspections, which Reno offers as a metro office
• Dropping off title documents after paying through Turbo Titles

The Reno commercial driver license office is different again. It is in a separate building at 890 Trademark Dr, Reno, NV 89521, open Monday to Friday 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and it takes walk-ins only.

Do I need to go in at all?

Often not. The Nevada DMV says most vehicle transactions can now be completed online, so check its online services before you book. Working out that you did not need the appointment is the fastest way to get one.

Booking a drive test if you are under 18

You must already hold an Instruction Permit to book a behind-the-wheel test. If you have one, you can book online. If you do not, go to a DMV office and staff will help you schedule it.

What to bring

It depends on the transaction, and a missing document is the most common reason people get sent home. Our printable Reno DMV checklist covers vehicle registration, title transfers, licenses, REAL ID and road tests. If you are registering a car, check whether it needs a smog check before your appointment.

Never pay for a Nevada DMV appointment

Appointments are free. Under Nevada SB169, third-party platforms are prohibited from selling or reserving DMV appointments without written consent. If a site charges you to book, report it to the Nevada Consumer Affairs Division.
