"Syracuse Nationals is a perfect opportunity for us to help customers that have an interest in and an appreciation for vehicles," said DMV Commissioner Mark J.F. Schroeder. "Our staff is looking forward to helping these car enthusiasts complete a variety of transactions, as well as answering any DMV-related questions they may have."

Representatives will also be available to answer questions about the upcoming REAL ID deadline and to help customers prepare to get a REAL ID or Enhanced ID, which is acceptable for REAL ID purposes. Beginning May 7, 2025, everyone flying in the U.S. will need a REAL ID or another form of federally accepted identification such as a U.S. Passport or Enhanced Driver License.

The DMV's online document guideis an additional method for customers to ensure they are prepared to visit the DMV to get a REAL ID.
