The DMV, a department under the auspice of the County Clerk’s Office, provides many and varied services including learner’s permits, driving licenses, non-driver identification, registrations for motor vehicles, motorcycles, snowmobiles, boats, and RVs. Schuyler County’s DMV also offers escort testing and handles enforcement problems.
