As a county office, Catskill works under section 205 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law, which has the county clerk act as the agent of the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles in registering vehicles, issuing non-driver identification cards and drivers' licenses on an inspector's certification, receiving certificate of title papers and handling motor vehicle enforcement transactions.
What the transactions on the Catskill list actually require is set out guide by guide: New York permit test and road test guide, New York motorcycle license guide, New York commercial driver license guide and New York REAL ID and Enhanced license guide.
Who runs Catskill
Catskill is run by the county clerk as an agent of the state DMV.
That is why the hours above are set in Greene rather than in Albany, and why the clerk keeps 10.75 percent of the gross receipts from the motor vehicle work done at 411 Main St, the retention percentage written into section 205.
Greene County, where Catskill sits, is one of the 51 New York counties whose clerk holds that agency, while the 11 the statute excepts by name, Albany, Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Onondaga, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester, have state run district offices instead.
The notice the state is showing for Catskill
The notice the state is carrying against Catskill reads: This office is closed daily from 12:30 - 1:30 for lunch.
Read that before setting out for 411 Main St, because it shuts the counter for part of the day or longer and the day table above does not show it.
Appointments and what you can do online
On its office locator the DMV says it "strongly encourage[s] making a reservation" at offices such as Catskill, and that when waits are long only people holding one are let in. The same page says booking is "not available for all DMV office locations", so whether Catskill takes a reservation is settled on that locator and not here.
Anything that can be finished online does not need Catskill at all, and the New York online services guide sets out which transactions those are.
Other DMV offices in Greene County

Every one of the 142 New York listings, Catskill among them, is on the New York DMV office list, and the public records for this county are on the Greene County page.
Before you go to Catskill
Call (518) 719-3280 before setting out for 411 Main St if your transaction is at all unusual, because the state files that number as the public line for Catskill itself rather than as a statewide queue.
Take to Catskill the documents the transaction needs rather than the ones you happen to have: what counts for a New York license or ID is listed in the REAL ID and Enhanced license guide, and what a registration needs is in the registration guide. A second trip to Catskill costs more than the reading does.
What you pay is set statewide rather than at the Catskill counter, and the current schedule is in the New York DMV fee guide.
