DMV-licensed facilities in Tompkins County

The Department of Motor Vehicles holds 237 current licences in Tompkins County — 0.6% of the state’s total, across 13 different kinds of licence.

Where you can get the annual inspection

New York requires a safety and emissions inspection every year, and only a Public Inspection Station may carry it out on a vehicle you bring in. Tompkins County has 58 of them.

The county also holds 3 dealer inspection stations and 2 fleet inspection stations. Those two are not open to the public: one inspects the vehicles the dealer sells, the other an operator’s own fleet. The distinction is invisible on a shopfront and decisive when you turn up. How to tell them apart.

What the Department licenses here

What these facilities also do

A DMV facility number can carry several licences at once, and 72 of the 136 facilities licensed in Tompkins County carry more than one — 52.9%. That is the part a one-licence-at-a-time lookup hides: the same garage may repair, inspect and sell, and each of those is a separate entry in the Department’s file.

Search any facility number on this site and you get all of its licences together, current and expired. The facilities that hold the most.
