Why Staten Island DMV Appointments Are So Hard to Get
Staten Island has just one DMV location:
Staten Island DMV — 1775 South Ave (Corporate Commons)
That means the entire borough relies on a single building for:
permit tests, Real ID upgrades, license renewals, and ID cards.
Combine that with limited daily windows, high teen demand, and staffing constraints —
and openings vanish in seconds.
Road tests add more pressure. Staten Island has two major sites:
Father Capodanno Blvd and Hylan Blvd,
both of which fill up weeks in advance.
As one SI resident put it:
“South Ave shows nothing… then suddenly one spot at 7:46 AM, and it’s gone by 7:47.”
AAA vs NYS DMV — What Staten Island Drivers Should Know
AAA cannot perform most services Staten Island residents book appointments for.
AAA Can Help With
- ✔️Registration renewals
- ✔️Plate surrenders
- ✔️Some title services
Helpful — but not a replacement for the Staten Island DMV.
AAA Cannot Help With
- ⛔Permit tests
- ⛔Road tests
- ⛔Real ID or Enhanced ID
- ⛔License issuance
- ⛔Any appointment-based service
This forces most SI residents to compete for South Ave appointments, or travel to Brooklyn for earlier availability.
