Wright County License Bureau Installs Drive-Up Drop Box On East Side Of Government Center

Press release from the Wright County Government:

Posted on: May 27, 2020

In an effort to ease potential foot traffic congestion inside the Wright County Government Center, the Wright County License Bureau has installed a drive-up outdoor drop box near the east entrance to the Government Center.

There are also drop boxes at the front entrance of the Government Center and inside next to the License Bureau office for those who need to fill out paperwork, but the new option is for those who desire to drop off non-driver’s license transactions that have all their paperwork completed.

“There are people who have concerns about entering buildings and want to avoid if possible,” said Lead License Bureau Specialist Jessie Gadach. “With the new drop box, people drive can up through the alley that connects to Lake Boulevard NW, pull up to the box and drop off their paperwork and get on their way without getting out of their cars.”

The License Bureau is also continuing its Friday drive-thru pickup, which has been a success for people who need tabs for vehicles, boats, campers and ATVs (as well as other License Bureau transactions like title transfers) in advance of taking weekend trips, averaging about 50 pickups per day. Transaction requests need to be received by noon Friday with a notation on the envelope or a Post-It note specifying that they will come in for pickup. License Bureau staff will distribute those requests from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in the front parking lot at the Government Center.

In June, a walk-up window will be installed at the south parking deck of the Government Center which will allow all non-driver’s license transactions to be completed immediately with License Bureau staff.
