The state publishes the Fonda week as Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM and Tuesday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and those are the counter hours rather than the hours of the building around it.

Fonda is shut at the weekend, so a Saturday errand means one of the 14 New York offices that does open on a Saturday.

The next closing the state names for Fonda is Election Day, November 3, 2026.

What Fonda handles

The state lists 6 transactions for Fonda by name:

  • Take a Car or Motorcycle Permit Test 8:30 AM - 2:00 PM
  • Take a CDL Test 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM
  • Knowledge Test Escort 8:30 AM - 1:00 PM
  • Upgrade to Real ID or EDL 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM
  • Dealer Motorcycle 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM
  • Dealer Plates 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM

A transaction that is not on that list is not done at 64 Broadway, which is the point of the list: the state publishes it office by office rather than claiming every counter does everything.

As a county office, Fonda 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 Fonda 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 Fonda

Fonda is run by the county clerk as an agent of the state DMV.

That is why the hours above are set in Montgomery rather than in Albany, and why the clerk keeps 10.75 percent of the gross receipts from the motor vehicle work done at 64 Broadway, the retention percentage written into section 205.

Montgomery County, where Fonda 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.

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 Fonda, 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 Fonda takes a reservation is settled on that locator and not here.

Anything that can be finished online does not need Fonda at all, and the New York online services guide sets out which transactions those are.

Other DMV offices in Montgomery County

The state lists Fonda as the only DMV listing in the whole of Montgomery County, so the next nearest counter is across a county line.

Every one of the 142 New York listings, Fonda among them, is on the New York DMV office list, and the public records for this county are on the Montgomery County page.

Before you go to Fonda

Call (518) 853-8126 before setting out for 64 Broadway if your transaction is at all unusual, because the state files that number as the public line for Fonda itself rather than as a statewide queue.

Take to Fonda 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 Fonda costs more than the reading does.

What you pay is set statewide rather than at the Fonda counter, and the current schedule is in the New York DMV fee guide.
