Livingston DMV Has Two Offices, But Not the Same Transaction Menu
Livingston County lists Geneseo and Dansville DMV offices, with appointments encouraged and some transaction limits by office and time.

Livingston County’s DMV split is worth reading before choosing Geneseo or Dansville by habit. Geneseo operates at the Government Center; Dansville operates at North Dansville Town Hall. The hours differ. Appointments are encouraged, walk-ins are welcome, permit testing needs an appointment, Real ID and Enhanced transactions stop after 3 p.m., and Dansville does not issue CDL licenses or conditional and restricted licenses.
Before leaving home, name the errand: permit test, Real ID, Enhanced ID, CDL, conditional or restricted license, title, registration, plate, or ordinary license transaction. Use the county timing for office choice, then use state DMV material for the exact proof list.
Distance and eligibility are different questions. The nearest counter may not handle the transaction in your folder. Compare the Geneseo and Dansville service limits, hours, and cutoffs, then keep the chosen office and state proof list with the appointment.
