Hurley DMV now offers registration services

HURLEY - The Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles Hurley branch now offers an expanded array of services, including vehicle registrations.

"They used to provide drivers' licenses and identification cards, and now they can provide registration services - (for) vehicles, renewals of plates, that type of thing," said Patricia Nelson, a regional manager with the DMV.

The expanded services apply to cars, motorcycles and light trucks, Nelson said.

Trailers and heavy vehicles - more than 10,000 pounds - can be registered online or at the Rice Lake and Eau Claire service centers.

Nelson also said the DMV would remain in the Hurley welcome center on U.S. 51.

"We are not moving," Nelson said. "There is no plan at this time to move. That's always subject to change, but at this time, we are not moving."

She called earlier reports about the location moving to elsewhere in the area "inaccurate."

The location will continue its current hours of 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays.

The expansion of services took effect Jan. 9, according to Nelson.
