Arapahoe County Motor Vehicle

Less than 30 minutes in and out to get tags for my new car !!!

Kudos to these folks! They have a new checkin system which prioritizes the things we go in for. Sadly I was on the bottom of the priority list, and it was 4:45 when I walked in. They got though all of us by 5:35. I asked the lady and she told me «today wasn’t bad… there have been nights I don’t get out til 7». She was friendly and helpful right to the end.

I don’t know how anyone has a good experience at the dmv. Most will equate it to getting in and out in 10 minutes. I know it’s not the dmv’s fault for the high price for registering your car, or $ 25 for a lost drivers license — but it’s out of control people. $ 400 to register my 2012. I just overheard a gentleman say to the teller — «I just paid you $ 800 and you give me a piece of paper? No plates? 6 weeks? What??»
The first time I registered my car was quite a funny experience. The girl next to me was told it would be $ 850. Shocked, the girl said I don’t have that. The teller pointed out «just bought a new car, you obviously have some money.» Too funny.
Here nor there. I actually came today to get a new dl because mine was lost. After waiting my turn a good 20 minutes, I get to the window just to discover they only accept cash or check. I pull out my phone just to double check what year it is. 2015. Hmm. I’m told there is an atm machine outside. Maybe I’m not a normal citizen but I don’t carry an ATM card and I don’t carry cash or checks. I leave. Drive to my bank. Get cash. Come back. Get a new number. Wait. Get called up. Go through the whole shenanigan process again. I pay. About to take a new photo and am asked, «have you ever had a drivers license in Alabama?» My answer is no. Lady picks up the phone and calls help over. I’m informed there’s a convict with my same name in another state and they have to clear my name. I’m asked to take a seat.
I wait another 10 minutes. Called back up. Take my photo. Sign a piece of paper and now I’m out of here. That only took an hour. Nice.
Dear Justin Williams in Alabama — don’t ruin our good name.

This used to be a quick and efficient place to renew plates, but now the wait is long, long, long. Isn’t it time to rethink how the DMV works? Who has time to wait for over an hour?!

If you are an immigrant DO NOT GO THERE… you’ll get the «get out of my country treatment» …I’m a citizen of the WORLD! keep believing in borders and you will continue to live in a nonsense planet. #sillyhumans

The people that work there are kind and helpful. My problem is only about one in two windows are open at any given time. The last two times I’ve been there it’s taken two and a half hours which is $ 50 in wages for me each time I go to the DMV. Quite frustrating when other people can renew their license online in no time.

Not the worst DMV to be at if you have to be at the DMV. Pretty efficient and organized. In comparison to other DMVs, Id say they get people in and out in a timely manner.

They have a really cool random number draw system. The starting number was 210 and my number was 368, but I was still in and out in less than an hour. For those of you who fit into the «I would rather be watching congressional bills pass than be here» category, this is the DMV for you. You’ll be in and out in no time.

The «manager» is the outright most rude, snarky, mean person I have EVER had the displeasure of interacting with. I needed to speak with her about a «document concern» and was told to wait — she’ll be right out. Here she came, and man, I knew right away at first glance that talking with her was going to ruin my entire day. Just, that, face… Correct I was, she managed to demonstrate she is everything but a manager, acting childish with no explanation as to why there was an «issue with my document.» Shes just «not having it.» I Simply asked her why, and to share a reason for this pitiful response, when she then asked me to leave. What a belly up quitter, poor leader, and generally terrible person. I feel bad for every employee who reports her– that must be such a toxic environment. I was genuinely baffled at how immature and ridiculous she acted. I was embarrassed for her. Overall terrible experience because of her behavior and attitude.

Hard to give the government 5 stars on anything, but this DMV office is just about as efficient as it can get! Their new ticketing system really reduces the amount of time you need to spend waiting. I came in a few weeks ago to renew my drivers’ license, and all in all it took about 20 minutes from start to finish. The woman who helped me was so considerate and did everything she could to make the whole thing as smooth as possible. It was a surprisingly pleasant experience! So glad I live in Arapahoe County now.

Five stars for the DMV? I know, surprising. This is the least stressful DMV I’ve ever been to. Highly organized and the employees are pretty chill. I usually dread coming to the DMV, because my anxiety goes haywire. Not here. I’m so happy they’re pleasant

This is where I usually come to renew my plates definitely very organized only takes about 10 minutes I love not waiting

Short wait time. Very clean. Easy to find. Plenty of parking. Very friendly staff.

I never thought I’d give a DMV a 5 star review, however I’ve been here twice and didn’t have to wait long the first time. The second time I had to wait about 20mins but that is expected at a DMV so I won’t dock any stars. The Employees were super friendly and actually struck up conversation. Very knowledgeable on what documents you need and how to run the DMV smoothly.

Going to the DMV is never pleasant. This one seems to have a hard time sending out the notification that your registration is ready. And it’s possible to wait here for hours.
However, if you go first thing in the morning, when they open, you can get in and out in under ten minutes, which is pretty awesome. Also, they share space and a waiting room with the driver’s license division, so it’s theoretically possible to wait in both lines at once and kill two birds with one stone. Personnel are all right, all things considered– someone was helpful with a refund for me once. The number/​paging system seems to be confusing to some.
It’s clean, chairs are comfortable enough and the AC works, so it’s not too terrible of a place to be stuck in DMV purgatory, but go first thing in the morning if you want to shorten your visit.

Giving this place a 3 due to it being disorganized with their paging and their number system. And for the bodies that currently sits in this DMV, less employees to accommodate the request. Parking is ok so don’t worry about it. Staff wise they aren’t friendly and I have been to many DMVs. I don’t work here so will have no clue how things are done in the background but this is just a customers stand point.

No one likes going to the DMV. I have had terrible experiences. But each of the 3 time I have gone to this particular DMV I have had an enjoyable experience. It is always clean, with nice seating. The lines move fast even when there are tons of people. EVERY clerk I have worked with has been kind, and helpful. I actually enjoy going to the DMV now. It only serves people in Arapahoe County just FYI.
