Chenango County DMV reopening postponed by state
CHENANGO COUNTY - The Chenango County Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) was scheduled to be open by appointment on Monday, but DMV representatives said New York State shut the process down.
According to Chenango County Clerk Mary Weidman, a miscommunication between county and state DMV’s created confusion over when reopening by appointment would be allowed. She said regional phases are different than what governor’s reopening guidelines are for New York State employees.
“Now we will be taking appointments effective the week of June 22 we will be accepting appointments for office visits which will start June 29,” said Weidman. “At this point the County Clerk’s Association and Executive Committee are working with the state and the DMV office to try to open earlier than that, but we’re going to have to wait and see what happens.”
Weidman said the Chenango County DMV was notified on the weekend of May 30 that their office would not be allowed to reopen despite a previous conversation that led office leaders to believe otherwise.
“People are quick to blame the governor's office, but it’s not always that simple,” she said. “I think sometimes it seems like we’re all on the same page, but there is a miscommunication somewhere and people get confused.”
“We got our staff back for full time work on the first so it’s just a matter of meeting all of the governor’s requirements so we can help people again.”
Weidman said people can drop off DMV information at the front desk, and they can also send in work by mail as well in the meantime.
She said those who drop off information in person to the DMV office will likely see results within a couple weekdays. She added that other sections of the Chenango County Office Building are open and running smoothly including the records office, pistol permitting, and will soon include passports as well.
