More Kiosks In Supermarkets Could Shorten Nevada DMV Lines

CARSON CITY — Renewing your driver's license soon could be as fast and easy as shopping for groceries.

The state Board of Examiners voted 3-0 on August 15th to let private companies install 40 to 80 more kiosks in supermarkets where drivers can complete their Department of Motor Vehicles business without waiting in a long line.

If the kiosk plan catches on with the public, Director Bruce Breslow said, then there will be an added benefit: Fewer people will need to visit DMV offices, and the average wait at a typical DMV office will be reduced by 12 percent.

There are 27 kiosks, or computer terminals, open in supermarkets and other locations across the state, but they don't handle driver's license renewal.
