Washington County, where Fort Edward 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 Fort Edward, 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 Fort Edward takes a reservation is settled on that locator and not here.
Anything that can be finished online does not need Fort Edward at all, and the New York online services guide sets out which transactions those are.
