I did not have an appointment today and the lobby was pretty full. I did not expect to be getting out any time soon, but surprisingly, my number was called right away and I was able to visit an open window within 5 minutes of walking in. I think the reception desk assigns walk in numbers according to how lengthy your situation might be, so I think I got a ‘fast’ number to get in and out because my visit was just to renew my car registration in person. It was quick and painless, in and out and got everything I needed in 10 minutes. Yippee!
I was impressed with how quickly it went and how easy it was. I would suggest looking online first to see what documents you might need for your visit. If you are renewing a license or changing your license from another state, you may be in for disappointment if you don’t bring the proper documents with you. They also don’t take credit cards so bring cash, debit card or your personal check. Just a note, if you are trying to get a new driver’s license, that is going to be a different DMV office (again, look online on their website prior to visiting). This office handles car registrations, title transfers, etc.

The best DMV I have ever dealt with in 5 different states & we needed up with 3 customer service reps for reasons beyond their control & everyone was super friendly, super professional & as quick as they humanly could be…
I super Rep could be down to the person, 3 must be down to the management 7 culture of this office.
Bravo, top notch… Such a pleasant surprise.
