That is why the hours above are set in Orange rather than in Albany, and why the clerk keeps 10.75 percent of the gross receipts from the motor vehicle work done at 17-19 Sussex St, the retention percentage written into section 205.
Orange County, where Port Jervis 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 Port Jervis, 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 Port Jervis takes a reservation is settled on that locator and not here.
For Port Jervis the state has gone further and put the appointment rule in the notice above, which is the clearest signal you will get that walking in is a gamble.
