Came during busy lunch hours. Sure there’s a bit of a wait, but from the greeting/sign-in to the actual processing the staff was friendly and professional. Everyone was helpful and with great attitudes.

If I could rate 0 stars I would. Tried submitting proof of insurance, the clerk said "We can't accept that, that's just a policy, we need the one with a barcode." about the paper I presented that very clearly was titled "Verification of insurance" and also within the first sentence of said paper clearly stated "...this is not an insurance policy..." Meanwhile 2 weeks earlier I came in for a similar transaction and they were perfectly able to receive documents by email, without barcodes mind you, and submit them that way. Please hire people that actually know how to process DOT paperwork, or create a proper standard for processing it and ensure new-hires are well versed in it.

If only I could give minus stars. Don't tell me you are not a DMV clerk so you don't know what documents I need. You work there you should at least have a cheat sheet while sitting at the desk pretending to work. Update your website so folks can get what they need done without dealing with such level of incompetence.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What is the charge for non license ID

I sent my renewal in by mail the second week of January it expired on January 28th, why haven't I received the new one? The check was cashed.

Lynda Cornell | Aug 30, 2021
Lana Alexander | Aug 30, 2021

Good question! I'd be contacting them! Especially since your check has been cashed. I had to make an appointment to go to the DMV just to downgrade my enhanced license because I couldn't do so online. During the wait my license expired too. That was two weeks ago. They may be short staffed because of the virus conditions.

Paul Shepard | Aug 30, 2021

I would recommend calling the day prior to your appointment , or have someone call for/with you. (315) 785-3023 I would expect that the call ahead will allow the staff to explain the process or any action taken prior to or at the appointment.

sara archer | Aug 31, 2019
pieking13 | Aug 31, 2019

Yes, make sure you keep the Receipt from the inspection.

Registered a new used camper today. $160. Sales tax & $72.75 registration and it cost $270.50. I can not figure out how they got that amount. I get $232.75. Any input on that?

bonnie mccormick | Aug 31, 2019
Mandi Edgerly | Aug 31, 2019

So it would be a difference of $37.75 and maybe that is your sales tax amount.

Kira Williams | Aug 31, 2019
Savannah Bonham | Aug 31, 2019

Birth Certificate is a must. Then you need 6 points of identification. Ex: SS Card, passport, your out of state ID card.. so on.

To renew an enhanced license, can someone else take in the documents or must you do it yourself?

Rhonda Spencer | Aug 31, 2019
Jakichaaan | Aug 31, 2019

You'd probably be able to if you bring a power of attorney from a lawyer stating specifically that the person you chose is authorized to renew it for you.
