The Orange County, New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has announced extended operating hours at its Goshen location to address the rising need for Enhanced and Real ID driver’s licenses. These expanded hours will offer residents greater access to services as they upgrade their identification to comply with federal and state regulations.

The Orange County DMV office at 255 Main St., Goshen, will now operate under the following extended schedule this month: Saturday, March 22 from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. (customers without appointments need to be in line by 1 p.m.) and Tuesday, March 25 from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. (customers without appointments need to be in line by 6 p.m.)

This change reflects the increasing number of residents seeking Enhanced and Real ID credentials, which beginning May 7th, 2025, are required for domestic air travel and entry to certain federal facilities under the REAL ID Act. To reduce wait times, appointments can be booked online at orangecountygov.com/190/Motor-Vehicles-DMV . Walk-ins will also be welcome during the extended hours, based on availability.
