Mayville DMV To Adjust Public Hours

MAYVILLE – The Chautauqua County Clerk’s Office will temporarily adjust public hours at the Mayville Department of Motor Vehicles Office due to staffing challenges. Beginning Monday, Dec. 1, the Mayville DMV location will be open to the public Monday through Wednesday only. Hours will remain 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with transaction processing ending at 4:15 p.m. The DMV offices in Jamestown and Dunkirk will continue to operate on their regular Monday through Friday schedules, and residents are encouraged to visit whichever location is most convenient. For all three locations, residents seeking Real ID or Enhanced Driver’s Licenses–or taking permit tests, including CDL or regular–should plan to arrive by 3:15 p.m., as these transactions take longer to process. Residents are also reminded that many DMV transactions can be completed online at www.dmv.ny.gov, including registration renewals, address changes, duplicate document requests, and certain license and permit services. For those who prefer personal assistance, DMV staff can also process most renewal transactions by phone at any county office by calling the Mayville office at 716-753-4229, the Jamestown office at 716-661-8220 or the Dunkirk office at 716-366-0210. Residents may also complete transactions by mail or by using the secure DMV drop boxes available at each office. Forms and guidance on required documents are available online. “Although we’ve previously encouraged residents to renew locally and in person to support Chautauqua County, the County now receives the same revenue regardless of how transactions are completed,” said Emily Blevins, Deputy County Clerk. “We want to assure the community that this is a temporary, last-resort adjustment due to staffing challenges. Through this time, our goal is to maintain accessible, reliable services for all residents, and we hope to find a solution soon so we may reopen full-time.”
