DMV Express locations will be opening in Southington and North Haven in mid-December, according to the state Department of Motor Vehicles.
In addition to the new locations, hours at the Stamford office will expand.
"We see this as a win-win for all our customers because it offers additional locations where they can go for license and ID card renewal services," DMV Commissioner Michael Bzdyra said in a statement. “We are pleased with the continuing growth of DMV Express,” he added.
Last year, the DMV launched a search for third-party vendors for license and ID card renewal services and said they chose Nutmeg State Financial Credit Union of Rocky Hill and The WorkPlace of Bridgeport for new DMV Express offices.
In late November The WorkPlace plans to take over DMV operations at 137 Henry St. in Stamford and intends to have an appointment-only system, as DMV offers there now.
It will expand operations from two days per week to Monday through Friday.
DMV appointments there will end Nov. 16.

The Stamford office will no longer provide registration transactions, accept license plate returns and cancelations and issue driving histories and disabled parking permits. DMV branch offices have those services.
In mid-December AAA Allied Group plans to open a new Southington Car Care, Insurance and Travel Center at 749 Queen St. and will provide DMV license and ID card renewal services Monday through Saturday.
In mid-December Nutmeg Credit Union plans to open a new five-station service center at 109 Washington Ave. in North Haven, which will be open Monday through Saturday and allow walk-ins as well as in-office and online appointments for services.
