DMV

Drivers ticketed for a range of serious traffic offenses in New York now face higher point penalties under revised DMV regulations that became enforceable last week.

Beginning today, the Riverhead DMV office is processing registrations and certain other transactions by mail. Beginning Thursday, June 4, the office will accept transactions through a secure drop box there. Drop box services will be available during regular office hours, Monday through Saturday.

The Riverhead DMV office has been closed for renovations since March 1 and is scheduled to reopen on April 2.
