The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles has resumed limited services at two locations, but is requiring customers to schedule appointments online first, said deputy commissioner Tony Guerrera.
The branches in Wethersfield and Cheshire will soon be taking appointments online for driver's license knowledge testing and permitting, Guerrera said.
The Department of Motor Vehicles is adhering to health and safety guidelines, meaning you can expect the following upon arriving for your appointment:
- Social distancing
- Nurse on-hand to take your temperature
- Questions about possible symptoms
"We're trying to make it as safe as possible for our customers, but also for all of our employees that work at DMV right now," Guerrera said.
Additional branches will be added to the list of open ones taking appointments in the coming weeks, Guerrera said.
