Buffalo, NY – Erie County DMV customers can now do a little shopping when they go to renew their license. The Erie County Clerk's office Monday opened a full-service satellite office inside Eastern Hills Mall.
The county now has two main offices, five satellites and four mobile DMV sites.
The county had lost all but two locations following drastic budget cuts in 2005. Erie County Clerk Kathy Hochul says growing demand for enhanced drivers' licenses made adding locations even more urgent. She says this brings the DMV back to full strength.
Hochul says the county has free rent at the Eastern Hills location for three years. She says that makes it both convenient and a good deal for taxpayers.
