What Old Forge handles
The state publishes no transaction list for Old Forge, so what it does is set by what a county office is allowed to do.
As a county office, Old Forge 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.
Who runs Old Forge
Old Forge is run by the county clerk as an agent of the state DMV.
That is why the hours above are set in Herkimer rather than in Albany, and why the clerk keeps 10.75 percent of the gross receipts from the motor vehicle work done at 183 Park Ave, the retention percentage written into section 205.
Herkimer County, where Old Forge 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 Old Forge
The notice the state is carrying against Old Forge reads: License & Registration Transactions available; - No EDL, CDL, or REAL ID transactions are processed at this office.
It is the office's own wording out of the state's table, and it sits on top of the hours and the transaction list for Old Forge.
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 Old Forge, 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 Old Forge takes a reservation is settled on that locator and not here.
Anything that can be finished online does not need Old Forge at all, and the New York online services guide sets out which transactions those are.

Before you go to Old Forge

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