LOWVILLE â By mid-May, no more appointments will be required for Lewis County residents needing the Department of Motor Vehiclesâ services. As of May 17, they will be able to just show up, almost like before, but walk-ins still will not be accepted.
Some things will go âback to normalâ with this change made by County Clerk Jake Moser, but capacity limits will mean itâs a normal with some adaptations.
The success of the âtake-a-numberâ model the DMV has been using since its move to its current location has brought the number generator into this new normal.
The ticket system will be stationed outside of the door of the DMV beginning at 8:30 a.m. daily so that people can take a number to âget in lineâ as soon as they arrive.

Facial recognition software for example can be combined with a database of faces such as Department of Motor Vehicle files, and match a photo or some type of digital image or video to create a match. This technology is employed in several cities around the country as well as airports, and even retail establishments according to the New York Times.
According to an article at centralmaine.com, the city of Waterville will be discussing the use of such technology and whether to consider banning the use of facial recognition software for use by the police in Waterville.
