| - I was dreading visit to the DMV coz the last time I was here which was many years ago, it was a NIGHTMARE!! This visit was for renewing my Drivers License.
Assuming a trip to DMV is a day trip, I went with full stomach, water bottle and a fully charged phone!! BTW they do have a snack bar.
I did make online reservation, and was given appt time of 11.45 AM. I got a text 30 mins before appt time letting me know where I need to check in. I walked in at 11.35 AM, no wait at the appt check in window, was greeted by a friendly employee who took some details and told me I will be called at window number 12.
As I am walking towards window 12, my number is announced and the lady at window 12 is ready for me!! She did all the stuff for renewal in less than 10 mins, did my vision test. If you need gold star Real ID card (which is what you want on your DL starting 2020 if you plan to use your DL for air travel) you will need your passport, SSN card, 2 proof of residence like utility bill, bank or credit card statements. The lady who did my renewal was very friendly and efficient.
Then I walked over to the photo booth, had my pic taken by a very sweet gal (they really do help you get a good pic!) and I was out!!
Entire experience was less than 25 mins!! Wowww!!
I didn't get a chance to even look at my phone.
Very impressed!
