Newbie to PA and Pittsburgh and, as such, needed to get license plate. Driver's license was a cinch at 9:30am on a Saturday at the Penn Hills Shopping Center location so now let's see what it takes to get a license plate.
AAA? Never heard of them being an option in the states I lived in. Hmmm... Ok. Arrived and realized I forgot my marriage certificate to show my name change on my title. Ok, headed back home then back here. No problem. It was before 10:30am on a Saturday and only one person in front of me both first and second arrival times.
A kind, helpful receptionist made sure I had all my documentation (proof of PA insurance, car title, marriage certificate for proof of pre-married name on title, PA driver's license), instructed me to park in a special parking spot so they could get my VIN to make sure it matched that on my title, and directed me to the next station.
The next station wait was minimal -- one person in front of me. Plus, there were several representatives (maybe 4 or 5) working for various purposes (one trip tik was in progress (people still do that???)). My representative was helpful, polite, and efficient. More importantly, I have my new plate (still sitting on my passenger seat 6 days later) and a new title is on its way with little pain dollar-wise and time-wise.
Who'd a thunk I could get plates at a AAA office?
