The following DMV branches will be closed on the following dates:

Feb. 17 through Feb. 20, the Bridgeport and Norwalk offices, and the Stamford photo license center will be closed.
Feb. 24 through Feb.27 - New Britain and Enfield offices
March 3 through March 6 - Willimantic and Norwich offices
March 10 through March 13 - Waterbury and Danbury offices
March 17 through March 20 - Hamden and Old Saybrook offices.
March 24 through March 27 - Wethersfield office

All offices will have their normal half-day Saturday operations.

“We are alternating the closings to avoid major inconveniences that could come with shutting all offices for one week. This new system, when up and running, will bring many more customer service benefits than we have now,” said DMV Commissioner Andres Ayala Jr., of Bridgeport.

The closures are needed to train DMV employees on a new $25 million computer system. The DMV’s computer systems are 40 to 50 years old and lack connections to deliver cost-effective and efficient services.
