Why Brooklyn DMV Appointments Are So Hard to Get
Brooklyn depends on **two extremely high-volume DMVs**:
1. Atlantic Center DMV – 625 Atlantic Ave (Fort Greene)
Located above Target and Modell’s, near Barclays Center. Serves Northern & Central Brooklyn.
2. Coney Island DMV – 2875 W 8th St (Surf Ave)
Serves Southern Brooklyn, from Sheepshead Bay to Bay Ridge.
Combined, these two offices serve:
- • Williamsburg & Greenpoint
- • Bushwick & Bedford-Stuyvesant
- • Crown Heights & Flatbush
- • Park Slope & Sunset Park
- • Bay Ridge & Gravesend
With more than **2.6 million residents**, plus spillover from Manhattan & Queens, appointment slots often vanish the second they appear.
