DMV To Offer Services Through AAA

Press release from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo:

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced a partnership between the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and AAA Northeast to expand access to DMV services. Six AAA branch offices in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Garden City, Nanuet and Yonkers can now process DMV transactions for AAA members, including vehicle registration renewals and duplicates, driver license and non-driver ID renewals, duplicates and upgrades to a REAL ID or Enhanced ID. Additional AAA offices will begin offering DMV services later this year.

“This partnership gives New Yorkers in New York City, Long Island and the Mid-Hudson region another pathway to the DMV, making it easier and more convenient to access the essential services they need,” Governor Cuomo said. “This is a great example of public-private partnerships working to benefit New Yorkers, and reflects the innovative thinking we’ve had to employ during these unprecedented times.”

DMV Commissioner Mark J. F. Schroeder said, “The DMV and AAA share a common focus on delivering exceptional customer service to New Yorkers, and we are thrilled to team up with AAA Northeast to give our customers another convenient option to complete transactions. By opening up yet another service channel, there will be more reservations available for customers who choose to or need to visit a DMV location.

AAA Northeast President and CEO John R. Galvin said, “In strict adherence to the Governor’s COVID-19 guidance, we are excited to be opening New York offices with the goal of helping and serving during this challenging time. We’re eager to get this innovative partnership off to a great start.”
