Governor Pillen Cuts Ribbon on DMV Service Center in Grand Island
Grand Island, NE – Governor Jim Pillen joined the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) today in a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially mark the opening of the new DMV Service Center in Grand Island. The office, located at 3529 S Locust Street, opened earlier this week and is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Governor Pillen highlighted how the new facility supports his administration’s goal of running government like a business by making services more efficient and customer-focused.
“This new service center in Grand Island is another step forward in making state government work better for the people of Nebraska,” said Governor Pillen. “By improving capacity, reducing wait times, and adopting business-minded efficiencies, we’re giving Nebraskans their time back and delivering the kind of service they deserve.”
The Grand Island Service Center is a full-service location offering all driver licensing services, including motorcycle and commercial vehicle testing. The office also incorporates queuing and appointment system innovations proven in Omaha and Lincoln, which expanded capacity and significantly reduced wait times. The service center model was first launched in the Omaha metro area in 2018, with subsequent openings in north Omaha, west Omaha, and Lincoln. Each center has demonstrated how separating driver licensing services into specialized offices creates greater flexibility, improves customer experience, and enhances efficiency.
“We are excited to bring this transformation of driver licensing services to Grand Island,” said Rhonda Lahm, Director of the Nebraska DMV. “This facility represents our commitment to providing Nebraskans with more accessible, efficient service options. At the same time, we encourage customers to take advantage of our many online services, which are available 24/7 at dmv.nebraska.gov.”
Dozens of services, including driver license and vehicle registration renewals, are available online at dmv.nebraska.gov
