Driver’s License Division

It is a drivers license division. No it’s not a fun and exciting place tone at except if it’s your first time getting a license and that’s probably the only exception. Other than that, what do you expect? You take a number, you have a seat annnnnd, YOU WAIT!!! You wait and wait till its your turn. And from my own experience, luckily, when it was my turn, the person helping me was nice, friendly and got me out quick. And that’s all I can ask for at a DL Division. One complaint though, I wish they would add a vending machine. I mean there is nothing like that at all. No soda machine no snack machine nothing. Just one water fountain.

It’s strange to rate a drivers license division but I decided it was worth it because this place is so much better than any other DLD I’ve ever visited. I’ve never had a long wait here, parking & location is convenient, & I’ve actually worked with some pretty nice staff. My visit wasn’t a total nightmare!

Very difficult to work with in Utah

Super slow. You may never get out off here. There are about 70 people standing in line and one person up front serving. He’s helped about 10 people the past 30 minutes. And this is a weekday morning, when they said they’re least busy.

Place looks like a rathole when you first walk in. Compared to other DMV’s they are actually quite efficient. Staff were also polite. Had no trouble getting my temp license even though I normally have to jump through a lot of hoops as a nonimmigrant alien. Still dont like being called an alien…

5 stars for a government office? Are you kidding me? I must say that being from California, I am used to the DMV being the most incompetent part of the state government. I would say that overall this was a positive experience with the DMV.
Now, that being said, the entire process of getting a Utah driver’s license is quite a bit more difficult than I ever found in California. They seem to require a lot more documentation and identification proof before they will issue a driver’s license. In a way, I wish my old home state would be the same way, but unfortunately they are intent on seeing that life is easier for illegal aliens then it is for their own tax paying citizens.
This review is much less about the process as it is the efficiency of this particular office. Of course, it’s in the grounds of the State Fair so undoubtedly it has one of the biggest parking lots in all of Utah. I made an online appointment for my new driver’s license, but the two times I was there I noticed and really think that an appointment might not be necessary.
The drivers test is given on a computer screen the process could not be more simple. Faster than the People’s Republic of California by a long shot. I have to admit that I was quite surprised written drivers test is given open book. I was even more surprised that I actually missed two questions on my test. But I passed, and walked out with my temporary 6 month drivers license in my hand, and was told that it I should have my real license in about 4 to 5 weeks. That might knock them down to 4 stars, because I can’t see anything in the age of computers taking four to five weeks to get done, but I guess that’s just the way things are.
