New service days at DMV
Placeholder Image
MONROE/DARLINGTON - A new year means new days of customer service at Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles Service Centers in Monroe and Darlington.

Beginning Jan. 5, the Monroe DMV will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In Darlington, the new days will be Monday and Wednesday. The hours remain the same at both locations, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Monroe and Darlington local DMV service centers' hours start early and go later than most DMV service centers in the state. The days of service were changed to optimize resources and provide better service to customers.

Many customers are surprised to learn that most routine DMV-related tasks can be done online at www.wisconsindmv.gov. Customers only need to visit a DMV service center once every eight years when it is time to renew a driver's license. Tasks such as renewing an ID, titling a vehicle, renewing license plates and others can be done online at any time. During regular business hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., online chat and phone support are available.

DMV also offers eNotify for annual license plate/registration renewals. This helps customers avoid paying late fees and eliminates reminder postcards. Paperless renewal reminders are sent via text or email and include direct links to DMV vehicle registration for easier, immediate plate renewal.

Only the website with .gov is the official state website. Others with .org and .com are not official and may have extra charges for forms or list information that is dated or incorrect. In addition to the expanding services on its website, WisDOT connects with customers on Facebook (www.facebook.com/WisDOT) and Twitter @WisconsinDOT (https://twitter. com/WisconsinDOT).
