Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap to reopen Springvale Bureau of Motor Vehicles branch

AUGUSTA – The Bureau of Motor Vehicles’ Springvale branch office will reopen to the public on Monday, November 23, 2020, Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap announced today.

The Springvale BMV branch at 456 Main Street has been closed since March 17, when all BMV offices were closed in response to the pandemic. Due to staffing shortages and reorganization to best serve customers, the Springvale branch remained closed, while the other 12 branches reopened on June 1. All branch offices will now be open to the public as of November 23, but mobile unit visits will not resume at this time.

BMV branch office hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and phone lines are open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please call before visiting a branch office for information regarding documents required to process your transaction, and please be aware that wait times may be increased during the reopening period due to public demand.

Those who need to complete transactions such as registration renewals and replacements, license and ID renewals and replacements, over-limit permits and duplicate titles are encouraged to continue to use the online services whenever possible.

All BMV branch offices are complying with the State’s pandemic prevention measures, including providing personal protection equipment for BMV employees, installing physical barriers to maintain distance and implementing increased hygiene procedures in an effort to conduct business safely.
