(KLZA)-- The Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has announced updates to driver licensing services availability. 

DMV teammates are ready to provide services when counties open their offices to walk in traffic. Additional teammates and resources are being put in place to increase service capacity in the most heavily populated counties. 
 
The State DMV will begin offering Class O (car) drive tests beginning Wednesday May 27th in county offices open to walk in customers at their regularly scheduled times. All services, including drive tests will be provided in Nemaha and Otoe counties.

All teammates will be provided with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and customers will be required to wear a face covering during their drive test. Customers are reminded to bring their face covering with them to the driver licensing office to wear during their drive test.

Governor Pete Ricketts signed an executive order Tuesday extending the drivers licenses for Nebraskans 72 and over with licenses expiring during the COVID-19 pandemic.  The change was revealed by Department of Motor Vehicles Director Rhonda Lahm and will extend expiration dates for people 72 and older whose license expiration dates fall from March 1 to December 31, 2020.  By extending the deadline, it will help make sure seniors do not have to wait in line during the pandemic.

Customers are encouraged to use online driver licensing services available at dmv.nebraska.gov. Most customers can renew their driver’s license and State ID Card online, as well as update their address, or order a replacement license.
