Types of offices

• Driver License Stations are authorized to handle issues regarding licenses, commercial licenses, non-driver IDs, address change, permits and more.  As well there you can schedule your vision, knowledge and road tests.
• County Treasurers’ Offices basically tackle vehicle services like titles, registration, registration renewals and more. Some of them are also responsible for handling driver services like licenses, commercial licenses, non-driver IDs, road tests and more.

Note: These offices generally operate Monday-Friday, 8:00 am-5:00 pm, except for legal holidays. However, have in mind that timings for different offices or for different services in the same office may vary. Please make sure you’re acquainted with the hours and services at your Treasurer’s Office before visiting in person.

Make your appointment in no time

Call any driver’s license issuance office and schedule an appointment for a non-commercial driving test. CDL testing is also handled by the driver’s license issuance offices, but still not by every location. You need to call first and inquire if they handle CDLs.
