Where the Andrews DMV Office Is Located and What It Handles

Andrews is a small city in West Texas, located in Andrews County. The Andrews DMV office is a satellite location operated by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, not a full-service regional hub. This means it handles routine transactions like license renewals, address changes, and vehicle registration updates, but does not process all services you might need.

The office is located at 700 West Broadway in Andrews, Texas 79714. Hours and staffing can vary, so calling ahead before you visit is worth your time — the office may have limited hours on certain days or close for lunch. You can reach the Andrews location through the main Texas DMV phone line or by checking the Texas DMV website for current hours.

Because Andrews is a smaller location, wait times are typically shorter than at larger regional offices, but the range of services offered is narrower. If you need something the Andrews office cannot handle — such as a commercial driver's license (CDL) test, a hazmat endorsement, or certain commercial vehicle registrations — you will need to travel to a larger office in Midland or Odessa.

Key Takeaways

  • The Andrews DMV office is located at 700 West Broadway and handles routine transactions like renewals and address changes, but not all services.
  • Call ahead to confirm hours, as this smaller location may have limited availability or close during lunch.
  • For specialized services like CDL testing or commercial endorsements, you will need to visit a larger regional office in Midland or Odessa.
  • Bring your current Texas ID or driver's license, proof of residency, and any documents related to your specific transaction.
  • Address changes can be completed in person at Andrews or online through the Texas DMV website if you prefer to avoid a trip.

What Documents to Bring to the Andrews Office

The documents you need depend on your transaction, but a few items are almost always required. Bring your current Texas driver's license or ID card, even if it is expired — it serves as proof of identity. If you are renewing your license or ID, bring the card itself or a copy of your renewal notice if you received one by mail.

For an address change, bring proof of your new address. The Texas DMV accepts utility bills, lease agreements, mortgage statements, or bank statements dated within the last 60 days. A government-issued ID showing your new address also works. You will fill out the address change form in person, and the office will update your record on the spot.

If you are registering a vehicle or renewing registration, bring your vehicle title, proof of insurance, and the vehicle identification number (VIN). For a vehicle inspection sticker renewal, bring your current sticker or registration card. Keep in mind that the Andrews office may not handle all vehicle-related transactions — if you are unsure whether your specific need can be handled there, call first.

How to Handle an Address Change at Andrews

You have two options for changing your address with the Texas DMV: in person at the Andrews office or online through the Texas DMV website. The online route is faster and requires no visit. Go to the Texas DMV website, log into your account (or create one if you do not have one), and follow the prompts to update your address. The change takes effect when ready, and you will receive a confirmation email.

If you prefer to do it in person, visit the Andrews office with your proof of new address and current ID. Fill out the address change form, submit it with your documents, and the staff will process it while you wait. There is no fee for an address change. Your updated license or ID card will be mailed to your new address within one to two weeks.

If your address change is tied to a vehicle registration renewal, you can handle both at the same time in person. Bring your registration card, proof of insurance, and proof of your new address. The office will update both your driver's license and your vehicle registration in one visit.

License and ID Renewal at the Andrews Location

Texas driver's licenses are valid for eight years, and ID cards are valid for six years. You can renew by mail, online, or in person. The online and mail options are faster than visiting the office, but if you prefer to renew in person at Andrews, bring your current license or ID card and proof of residency if your address has changed.

If you are renewing in person, the office will take a new photo and process your renewal on the spot. Your new license or ID will be mailed to you within one to two weeks. There is a fee for renewal — the amount depends on whether you are renewing a license or ID and how many years you are renewing for — but the Andrews office staff can tell you the exact cost when you arrive.

If you are renewing online or by mail, you do not need to visit Andrews at all. The Texas DMV website has a renewal tool that walks you through the process. Mail-in renewals take longer (usually three to four weeks) than online renewals (usually one to two weeks), so online is the faster option if you are not visiting in person.

Vehicle Registration and Inspection Sticker Renewal

Vehicle registration renewal can be done online, by mail, or in person at the Andrews office. Online renewal is the fastest option and requires only your vehicle identification number (VIN) and current registration card. You will pay the renewal fee online, and your new registration card and sticker will be mailed to you within one to two weeks.

If you renew in person at Andrews, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, and your vehicle's VIN. The office will process the renewal and mail your new sticker and registration card. Inspection stickers are separate from registration and must be obtained at a licensed inspection station, not at the DMV office itself. You can find inspection stations near Andrews through the Texas DMV website.

Registration fees vary based on your vehicle type and weight. The Andrews office staff can calculate your exact fee when you visit, or you can use the fee calculator on the Texas DMV website before you go. If your vehicle registration has already expired, you can still renew it, but you may face a late fee depending on how long it has been expired.

When You Cannot Use the Andrews Office

The Andrews DMV office does not issue commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) or handle CDL testing. If you need a CDL or any CDL endorsement (such as hazmat or tanker), you must visit a larger regional office. The nearest offices that handle CDL services are in Midland (about 75 miles away) or Odessa (about 85 miles away).

The Andrews office also does not process certain specialized vehicle registrations, such as those for commercial trucks over a certain weight or for vehicles registered as businesses. If your vehicle falls into one of these categories, the staff at Andrews can tell you which larger office to visit or may be able to direct you to the right department within the Texas DMV system.

For transactions that Andrews cannot handle, the staff can usually provide you with the phone number and address of the nearest office that can. It is worth calling the Andrews office first to confirm whether your specific need can be handled there, rather than making a trip only to be turned away.
