Where the Corinth DMV is located

The Corinth DMV office is located at 1315 Parkway Street, Corinth, MS 38834. This is the main driver license and vehicle registration office serving Alcorn County and the surrounding area. The office handles standard transactions like license renewals, vehicle registration, title transfers, and address changes.

Corinth is in the northeastern part of Mississippi, roughly 90 miles from Memphis, Tennessee. If you live in or near Corinth, this is your local office for most DMV services. The office is not a satellite location — it processes the full range of Mississippi DMV transactions.

Hours and how to contact the office

The Corinth DMV is open Monday through Friday. Standard hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., though you should call ahead to confirm current hours, as they can change seasonally or due to staffing. You can reach the office at (662) 287-5933.

Calling before you visit is worth the time. Staff can tell you whether you need an appointment, how long the wait is that day, and whether they have the specific service you need in stock — some offices occasionally run short on certain forms or license types. If you are changing your address, renewing a license, or registering a vehicle, a quick call can save you a trip back.

What documents to bring for common transactions

For a driver license renewal, bring your current license, proof of residency (a utility bill or lease dated within the last 60 days), and your Social Security card or a document showing your number. If your address has changed, bring proof of your new address as well.

For a vehicle registration renewal, bring your current registration card, proof of insurance, and your vehicle identification number (VIN). You can find your VIN on your registration or on the dashboard of your vehicle. If you are registering a vehicle for the first time in Mississippi, you will also need the title and a bill of sale.

For an address change, bring your current license or registration, proof of your new address, and your Social Security card. You do not need to renew your license to change your address — the DMV can update it separately, though the new address will appear on your next renewal.

When you might need to visit in person versus by mail

Some transactions can be completed by mail through the Mississippi DMV, while others require an in-person visit to the Corinth office. Address changes on an existing license can often be done by mail, as can some registration renewals if your vehicle has not changed and your insurance is current. License renewals typically require an in-person visit so the office can take a new photo and verify your identity.

The Corinth office staff can tell you over the phone which route is available for your specific transaction. If you are out of state or unable to visit, ask whether your transaction qualifies for mail processing. Processing by mail takes longer — usually two to three weeks — but it saves a trip.

Parking and accessibility

The Corinth DMV office has parking available on-site. The building is accessible to people with mobility limitations, though if you have specific accessibility needs, calling ahead at (662) 287-5933 allows staff to prepare or direct you to the most convenient entrance.

Wait times at the Corinth office vary by day and time. Mornings, especially early in the week, tend to be less crowded than afternoons or Fridays. If you are concerned about wait times, calling ahead gives you a realistic picture of how busy the office is that day.

If the Corinth office cannot help you

The Corinth DMV handles the vast majority of driver license and vehicle registration work. However, if you need a service the office does not provide — such as a commercial driver license (CDL) test or a specialized endorsement — staff will direct you to the nearest office that does. Mississippi has DMV offices in most counties, so an alternative location is usually not far away.

You can also contact the Mississippi Department of Public Safety main office at (601) 987-1500 if you have questions about services not available in Corinth or if you need to report an issue with a previous transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment to visit the Corinth DMV?

Appointment requirements vary and change based on current demand. Call (662) 287-5933 to ask whether you need one for your specific transaction. Some offices use walk-in hours for certain services while requiring appointments for others.

Can I renew my license online instead of visiting the office?

Mississippi does not currently offer online license renewal. You must renew in person at a DMV office. However, some address changes and registration renewals can be done by mail — call the Corinth office to ask whether your situation qualifies.

What if I lost my Social Security card and don't have the number memorized?

Call the Corinth DMV before you visit. Staff can tell you what alternative documents they accept as proof of your Social Security number, such as a tax return, W-2, or bank statement showing your number. Bringing the right document saves you a second trip.

How long does a license renewal take at the Corinth office?

Processing time depends on how busy the office is that day. Call ahead to ask about current wait times. Once your transaction is complete, you usually receive your new license on the spot, though some services may require mailing.

Can I change my address without renewing my license?

Yes. You can update your address on your current license at any time. The new address will appear on your next renewal. Bring proof of your new address and your current license to the Corinth office, or ask whether your change qualifies for mail processing.
