Who runs Springfield Gardens
Springfield Gardens is run by the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles itself.
Springfield Gardens is in Queens County, one of the 11 counties, Albany, Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Onondaga, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester, that section 205 excepts from the county clerk agency, so it is staffed and run by the state itself and there is no county retention on what you pay at 168-35 Rockaway Blvd.
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 Springfield Gardens, 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 Springfield Gardens takes a reservation is settled on that locator and not here.
Anything that can be finished online does not need Springfield Gardens at all, and the New York online services guide sets out which transactions those are.
