Trap I would call your local DMV's to see what they are doing. they all had their own deal going during COVID as far as online, appointments, and hours. My buddy went last night to Taft Road by appointment. The lady told him they had not decided when to open to walk-in public yet. I know my area DMV will open to walk-ins on June 21st, but only to Madison County residents. Yours may be different.

Why would you want to walk in and wait? Make an appointment and your in and out without wasting your free time…

One local DMV here you have to be vetted by a deputy to even gain entrance to the building.  Renewed mine online months ago.  Have yet to receive it in the mail.  Got back four other registrations we did at the same time.  Local DMV says "be patient, sometimes takes weeks."  lol  If you can't get a "walk in" done, make an appointment and drive on.  If you get stopped, show the man you've done all you could reasonably do.  They're not ticketing that kind of thing due to those kind of issues.

Inspired by this thread, i took a chance and walked in to our DMV.  I asked if appt's are required and was told yes but the lady asked what I needed.  I explained and she fixed me up.  The next guy thru the door said he had an appt. but when he got to the counter the lady said "Sir, your appt. was for 0915......"  It was then 1145.  "Well my truck broke down, I tried to call you people......."   They sent him out.

    They shouldn't ticket you if you can't get it done right ?

This was my theory last year when the DMVs weren't open AT ALL and i couldn't put my bikes on the road.  I sent a message to the state level DMV social media page and got a resounding "you can not drive an unregistered vehicle (even if we wont let you register it)".

I'd be fishing    it's not your fault they can't get their stuff together    I've talked to several officers in the past year and they all say they're not bothering any one unless your making trouble

That may be true but all it takes is one officer that goes by the book or is a prick. There's always one out there.

I had the same problem.  Needed to renew a registration that was too old to do online,  All I had to do was go to the website, poke around a little to find an appointment and within 3 days, I was in the Henrietta branch by the Dome Arena.  They gave my a numbered ticket when I got there, I sat maybe 15 minutes tops, got called up, did my transaction and got out of there with no hassles at all.
Everyone was nice to me.  The lady at the window said "oh, that's not the right form, here, we need this one."  She even filled it in!  I paid my fee with a credit card right at the window and was out of there in no time.  Those people don't want to fight, they just want to do their jobs and go home to their families.  All you have to do is do what they ask you to do and maybe even try being nice!
Anyway our trailer is now registered, something I couldn't do online.  They didn't make it hard, in fact it was very easy.  The trick is to look around at the appointment availabilities and be willing to drive a little just this one time.

grady I get the impression you are insinuating I wasn't nice  to the DMV ...... first if I'm wrong I am sorry I misunderstood you ....second if I'm right you have no idea what your talking about I dropped my  paperwork and check off to a man that put it in drop box and got it back in a few days , never delt with anyone ....so maybe you need to  a little nicer and stop assuming so much

Glad every one is happy and is able to go fishin     I for one, don't give a rats behind when they can't do they're job as long as I have paper work that says I did mine   covid or no covid
  I launch every week at a place with that stupid kiosk to pay.  Well don't you know that it doesn't work ?  I simply put my expired golden park pass  ( because I can't get in to get a new one)
   in my windshield and off I go.  So far no issues in two years.   There must be an understanding park police man around ?
