The Service NSW bus will be making its way across the region, starting next week with a trip to Yetman and Bingara and further afield to Mungindi and Boggabilla in the following week.
"It's not possible for every single community across country NSW to have access to a physical Service NSW Centre, where people can walk in and undertake their Driver Knowledge Tests, pay bills, or renew a licence," Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall said.
"I'm incredibly supportive of these buses coming to our region and bringing these important services and opportunities to our smaller communities, saving locals time and money.
"I urge local residents to take advantage of these visits and talk to the helpful staff."

Since 2013, Service NSW has been the only place for vital services such as getting a birth certificate, a Seniors Card, driver licence and vehicle registration.
"Service NSW is also a gateway to household savings and can help people access important cost of living programs, such as Energy Switch, $100 Active Kids and Creative vouchers and cheaper Green Slips," Mr Marshall said.
Armidale, Inverell and Glen Innes all have Service NSW Centres with Moree to have one before the end of the year.
"The Mobile Service NSW Centre will roll through towns with advanced notice so the community knows when to expect a visit and what documentation is required to perform their transaction," Mr Marshall said.
"The Mobile Service Centre will be cashless, with payment options including cheque, EFTPOS or credit card."
The bus will be in Yetman on Wednesday, June 5 at the intersection of River and Macintyre Streets from 10am to 2pm.
It will then head to Bingara on Thursday, June 6 at 74 Maitland Street from 9am to 3pm.
It will visit Mungindi on Tuesday, June 11 on St George Street from 10am to 3pm before finishing in Boggabilla on Wednesday, June 12 at 26 North Street from 10am to 2pm.
The Mobile Service NSW Centre offers services including:
- Driver licence, photo card applications and renewals
- Driver Knowledge Tests
- Working With Children Check applications
- Applying for birth, death and marriage certificates
- Cost of Living service to access more than 70 government rebates and savings
There is no need for people to make an appointment - Service NSW staff will help people on the day.
