How to Reschedule Your Appointment

There’s no direct “reschedule” option in the DMV system. You’ll need to:

  1. Cancel your current appointment using the steps above
  2. Return to the scheduler and search for new times
  3. Book a new appointment at your preferred location

Tips to Get a New Appointment Faster

  • 🔁 Refresh often — cancellations happen throughout the day
  • 📍 Try nearby towns — they often have more availability
  • 🚨 Use our alert tool — we monitor cancellations and notify you instantly

What Happens If You Miss It?

There’s no penalty for missing your appointment, but you’ll have to start the process from scratch. High-demand offices may not show availability for weeks — another reason real-time alerts can help.
