Hours and how to confirm them before you go

The Maryville Driver Services office operates Monday through Friday during standard business hours, but the exact times change seasonally and occasionally shift without notice. Rather than relying on posted hours, contact the office directly at the phone number listed on the Tennessee DMV website or check the office locator tool at tn.gov/revenue/driver-services.

Peak times at the Maryville office are typically mid-morning and mid-afternoon on weekdays. If you have a choice, arriving early in the morning or just after lunch often means shorter wait times. The office does not take appointments for most services, so you will be served on a first-come, first-served basis.

What documents to bring for common transactions

For a driver license renewal, bring your current Tennessee driver license or ID card, proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days), and your Social Security number. If your name has changed, bring a certified copy of the document that changed it — marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order.

For vehicle registration renewal, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, and your vehicle identification number (VIN). If you are registering a vehicle for the first time in Tennessee, bring the title, bill of sale, and proof of a passing emissions test if your vehicle requires one. For a title transfer, bring the signed title from the previous owner, a bill of sale, and proof of insurance.

Bring proof of residency for any transaction that requires it — a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days. A driver license counts as proof of identity but not proof of residency.

Online and mail options that may save you a trip

Tennessee allows driver license renewals online if you are between 18 and 64, your license is not suspended or revoked, and you are renewing before it expires. Visit the Tennessee DMV website, select the online renewal option, and follow the prompts. You will receive your new license by mail within 7 to 10 business days. This is the fastest way to renew if you do not need to update your photo or address.

Vehicle registration renewals can also be completed online or by mail. Go to the Tennessee DMV website, enter your vehicle information, and pay the renewal fee. Your new registration card will arrive by mail. If your registration is expired, you may still renew online, though you may owe a late fee depending on how long it has been expired.

Title transfers and new vehicle registrations typically require an in-person visit or notarized documents submitted by mail. Call the Maryville office to ask whether your specific transaction can be handled by mail before making the trip.

What to expect when you arrive at the office

When you enter the Maryville Driver Services office, look for a ticket dispenser or check-in area. Take a number and wait for your turn. The office staff will direct you to the correct window based on your transaction type. Have all your documents ready and organized before you reach the window — this speeds up the process and reduces errors.

Processing times vary. A straightforward license renewal or registration renewal may take 15 to 30 minutes from the time you are called. A title transfer or first-time registration can take 30 to 45 minutes. If the office is busy, wait times can extend beyond these estimates. Bring a book or use your phone to pass the time rather than expecting to be in and out quickly.

Fees and payment methods accepted

Driver license renewal fees in Tennessee are $27 for an eight-year license. Vehicle registration renewal fees vary based on vehicle weight and type, typically ranging from $25 to $35 for standard passenger vehicles. Title transfer fees are $15 to $25 depending on the transaction type. Exact fees change annually, so confirm the current amount on the Tennessee DMV website or by calling the office.

The Maryville office accepts cash, check, and debit or credit card. If paying by check, make it payable to the Tennessee Department of Revenue. Online transactions accept credit and debit cards only. Mail-in transactions typically require a check or money order.

What to do if you cannot visit the Maryville office

If the Maryville location is inconvenient, the Knoxville area has multiple Driver Services offices that may have different hours or shorter wait times. You can also handle many transactions online or by mail without visiting any office. For transactions that require an in-person visit, you may be able to visit any Tennessee Driver Services office, not just the one in your county — call ahead to confirm.

If you are out of state or unable to travel, some transactions can be completed by mail. read the appropriate form from the Tennessee DMV website, complete it, include all required documents and payment, and mail it to the address listed on the form. Processing by mail typically takes two to three weeks longer than in-person service.
