The state publishes the Monticello week as Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and those are the counter hours rather than the hours of the building around it.
Monticello 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 Monticello is Election Day, November 3, 2026.
What Monticello handles
The state lists 6 transactions for Monticello by name:
- Take a Car or Motorcycle Permit Test 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM by APPOINTMENT ONLY
- Take a CDL Test 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM by APPOINTMENT ONLY
- Knowledge Test Escort 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM by APPOINTMENT ONLY

- Upgrade to Real ID or EDL 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM by APPOINTMENT ONLY
- Dealer Plates 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM
A transaction that is not on that list is not done at 100 North St, 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, Monticello 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 Monticello 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 Monticello
Monticello is run by the county clerk as an agent of the state DMV.
That is why the hours above are set in Sullivan rather than in Albany, and why the clerk keeps 10.75 percent of the gross receipts from the motor vehicle work done at 100 North St, the retention percentage written into section 205.
Sullivan County, where Monticello 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 Monticello
The notice the state is carrying against Monticello reads: This office is CLOSED daily from 12:00 - 1:15 for lunch.
Read that before setting out for 100 North 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 Monticello, 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 Monticello takes a reservation is settled on that locator and not here.
Anything that can be finished online does not need Monticello at all, and the New York online services guide sets out which transactions those are.
Other DMV offices in Sullivan County
Besides Monticello, the state lists 1 other DMV listing in Sullivan County:
- Sullivan County Mobile, 100 North St, Monticello, mobile office
Every one of the 142 New York listings, Monticello among them, is on the New York DMV office list, and the public records for this county are on the Sullivan County page.
Before you go to Monticello
Call (845) 794-3872 before setting out for 100 North St if your transaction is at all unusual, because the state files that number as the public line for Monticello itself rather than as a statewide queue.
Take to Monticello 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 Monticello costs more than the reading does.
What you pay is set statewide rather than at the Monticello counter, and the current schedule is in the New York DMV fee guide.
