Getting there

Subway

  • No subway on Staten Island — Staten Island Ferry to St George, then the S44 towards the Staten Island Mall

Bus

  • S44 along Richmond Ave to the Staten Island Mall
  • S59 along Richmond Ave
  • S79-SBS and S89 to the mall area

What to bring

  • Original identity documents and proof of date of birth
  • Two proofs of Staten Island residency
  • Current registration and insurance for vehicle work
  • Ferry-friendly timing — allow extra travel time for the return

Take the ferry and then the S44 and treat it as a half-day. A reservation is close to essential here because there is no second office to fall back on.
