What the Henderson DMV Office Does and Where It Is
Henderson has one full-service DMV office located at 500 South Boulder Highway, Henderson, NV 89015. This office handles driver's license renewals, replacements, and address changes; vehicle registration and title work; and written and driving tests for new licenses. It is run by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, the same agency that operates DMV offices statewide.
The Henderson office serves the Henderson area and parts of southern Clark County. If you live in Las Vegas proper, you may find it faster to use the Las Vegas office on East Flamingo Road instead, depending on which is closer to your home or work. Both offices handle the same transactions and use the same Nevada systems, so there is no advantage to one over the other except location.
Hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the office closed on state holidays. The office does not take appointments — service is first-come, first-served. Arrival time varies widely depending on the day and time of day; mornings and early in the week tend to be less crowded than afternoons and Fridays.
Key Takeaways
- The Henderson DMV office is at 500 South Boulder Highway and handles driver's licenses, vehicle registration, and road tests without requiring an appointment.
- Address changes for your driver's license or vehicle registration can be done in person at the office or online through the Nevada DMV website if you have a valid Nevada ID.
- You will need proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or bank statement with your current address) and your current ID to change your address at the office.
- Nevada allows online address changes for driver's licenses and vehicle registrations if you have a valid Nevada ID and a credit or debit card, which is usually faster than going to the office.
- Wait times are unpredictable and can range from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the day and time; arriving early in the morning on a Tuesday or Wednesday typically means shorter waits.
Changing Your Address at the Henderson DMV Office
If you prefer to change your address in person, bring your current Nevada driver's license or ID card, proof of your new address, and fill out the appropriate form before you arrive. Proof of residency can be a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days and showing your new address. The office will not accept a post office box as proof of residency.
The form for a driver's license address change is the process for Driver's License or Identification Card (Form DL 43). For vehicle registration, you will need the Vehicle Registration process (Form VR 13). Both forms are available on the Nevada DMV website to print ahead of time, or you can pick them up at the office. Filling them out before you arrive cuts your time at the counter significantly.
The fee for an address change on your driver's license is included in your renewal fee if you are renewing at the same time, or $20 if you are changing the address on a current license. Vehicle registration address changes are free. Payment is by cash, check, debit card, or credit card.
Changing Your Address Online Instead of Going to the Office
Nevada allows you to change your driver's license address online through the DMV website if you have a valid Nevada driver's license or ID card and a credit or debit card. The online process takes about 10 minutes and costs $20. You do not need to upload documents — the system verifies your identity using information already in the Nevada DMV database.
Vehicle registration address changes can also be done online if you are the registered owner and have your vehicle registration card and a credit or debit card. The fee is free for registration address changes. Both transactions are processed when ready, and you will receive a confirmation email.
The online option is faster than going to the office and avoids wait times entirely. However, if your address change is part of a larger transaction — such as renewing your license at the same time — you may need to do some steps in person. Check the Nevada DMV website or call the Henderson office at (702) 486-4368 to confirm what can be done online for your specific situation.

The main phone line for the Henderson office is (702) 486-4368. Wait times to speak with someone can be long during peak hours (late morning and early afternoon). Calling early in the morning or late in the afternoon may connect you faster. The Nevada DMV website also has a live chat option during business hours if you prefer not to call.

What to Expect When You Arrive at the Henderson Office
When you walk in, take a number from the dispenser near the entrance. The digital display shows which number is being served and at which window. Your number will be called when it is your turn. Bring all documents with you — if you are missing something, you will have to leave and come back, which wastes your wait time.
The office is usually busiest between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays. If you can go early in the morning (right when it opens at 8 a.m.) or late in the afternoon (after 3 p.m.), you will likely wait less. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are typically slower than Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
