Haven't had to visit the DMV license & Registration office in person in several years.
It was such a painful experience the last time that I promised myself it wouldn't happen again.
Jump ahead 4 years and I'm back !
The same ladies are there minus one that retired due to health issues. The atmosphere for the most part hasn't changed. Very militant and harsh vibes from the counter employees.
It almost feels like you're in an episode of the soup nazi on Seinfeld.
The lines are almost always long and your wait time varies depending on how motivated the customers are with the correct documents.
I was lucky that day. I was in at 9:00 am and out 20 minutes later.
The best advice : handle your stuff online if you can and avoid that place but if you must go -
Pack your patience.
