State DMV Postpones Opening of Omaha Service Center

LINCOLN – The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office is postponing the opening of a new, purpose built service center, located at 17077 Burt Street, until further notice due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in the Omaha metro area. The new service center will replace the two existing DMV offices located in Millard and at 108th & Maple. Following the closure to walk-in traffic of the County Treasurer’s office in Millard, DMV services at that office were suspended earlier this month. As part of the wider transformation of services in the Omaha metro, the Millard office will not reopen, and services will no longer be offered at the 108th & Maple location from end of day Thursday, April 2nd.

State DMV offices located in north Omaha and Bellevue remain open; however, strict social distancing measures are in place. The need to visit a State DMV office has reduced significantly for most people, with the Governor’s executive order extending the expiration date for all driver license types, due to expire on or after March 1, 2020, until 30 days after the order has been lifted.

“Thanks to Governor Ricketts’ executive order, demand for in-person services has dropped to fewer than 100 transactions per day in the Omaha metro,” said Rhonda Lahm, Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles. “I would like to thank our customers for respecting the directed health measures and using our online services. A lot of hard work went into readying the new location and we look forward to serving our customers there in the future.”

The Nebraska DMV has dozens of services available online. Customers are able to update their address, renew or replace their driver’s license or state identification card, and renew their vehicle registration, among many other services. A full list of services is available at dmv.nebraska.gov/services.
