How do I skip the line at the Buffalo DMV?

Accepted Answer

Three tricks reliably reduce wait time in Buffalo: (1) book the earliest appointment slot available — typically 8:00 AM the day it opens; (2) use online services first (renewals, duplicate registrations, address changes) — most of what people go to the DMV for can be done at home through Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services at https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/; (3) avoid Mondays, Fridays, and the last week of the month, when the queues peak.

Yes. Minnesota DMV services are not tied to where you live — you can use any in-state office. Many drivers deliberately use smaller offices in neighboring towns to avoid Buffalo's wait times.
