Apple Valley MN DMV

Wow that was fast… could not believe it.. In and out and know standing around. This dmv has it together.

Now that tabs and all that can be renewed online, I rarely have the need to go to the DMV. And of course, we all hear horror stories (and have probably experienced it ourselves) with the long lines and unfriendly staff. Since I’ve dealt with that so often at a DMV, I just can’t provide 5 stars. However, I do want to provide a positive shout-​out to the folks at Apple Valley who helped us on March 16^th (I wish I remembered her name). My daughter had just passed her permit test at the Eagan location, but due to a computer issue, we had to head to the Apple Valley location to pay for the test so she could officially receive her permit. The gal who helped us was very friendly, and I think she understood that this was a rather momentous occasion for my daughter… even congratulated her on passing the test. It definitely turned a bummer situation into a positive one. Thanks!

Had to get new tabs. Was in and out in less than 5 min. Not to say they don’t get busy as I went in the early morning.
I was pleasantly surprised to see they accept credit cards now. I had come here years ago and was forced to use an ATM to get cash previously. However, they do charge a 2.5% fee when you use a credit card. Worth it for me for the conscience.

I actually like going in here. No, not to pay the overpriced registration taxes on my cars. But because I’m usually in a hurry when I remember that my tabs are past due. It’s generally get in and get out, even when they are busy. Also, they are mostly pretty helpful with questions that arise over the registration process. Not always, but in general.
