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

What Rome handles
The state lists 9 transactions for Rome by name:
- Take a Car or Motorcycle Permit Test 9:00 PM - 4:00 PM
- Enforcement 9:00 PM - 4:00 PM
- Dealer Motorcycle 9:00 PM - 4:00 PM. No Dealer walk-ins with 3 transactions after 3:30 PM

A transaction that is not on that list is not done at 301 West Dominick 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, Rome 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 Rome 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, New York REAL ID and Enhanced license guide and New York guide for drivers moving in.
Who runs Rome
Rome is run by the county clerk as an agent of the state DMV.
That is why the hours above are set in Oneida rather than in Albany, and why the clerk keeps 10.75 percent of the gross receipts from the motor vehicle work done at 301 West Dominick St, the retention percentage written into section 205.
Oneida County, where Rome 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 Rome
The notice the state is carrying against Rome reads: This office is CLOSED daily from 12:00 - 1:00 for lunch.
Read that before setting out for 301 West Dominick 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 Rome, 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 Rome takes a reservation is settled on that locator and not here.
Anything that can be finished online does not need Rome at all, and the New York online services guide sets out which transactions those are.
Other DMV offices in Oneida County
Besides Rome, the state lists 1 other DMV listing in Oneida County:
- Utica, 321 Main St, Utica, county office
Every one of the 142 New York listings, Rome among them, is on the New York DMV office list, and the public records for this county are on the Oneida County page.
Before you go to Rome
Call (315) 336-6790 before setting out for 301 West Dominick St if your transaction is at all unusual, because the state files that number as the public line for Rome itself rather than as a statewide queue.
Take to Rome 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 Rome costs more than the reading does.
What you pay is set statewide rather than at the Rome counter, and the current schedule is in the New York DMV fee guide.
