If you don’t have a appointment set up don’t even bother coming in. The appointment line can keep getting more and more people in it and they will not take the walk ins until that line is completely empty. Until it is empty you will not get serviced, period. Their system needs to be completely revamped for the people.

Best DMV I've been too, much better than MA. Appt set for 9am. Was checked in at 905, called up at 910 and out the door at 920 for a license renewal with REAL ID. Definitely show up 5-10min before the appt as there is a check in desk which you may have to wait in a line for. Highly efficient group of folks here. Definitely make an appt first which can be done online.

Long wait phone call, download DMV form, print form, fill in required info, (also include reason for duplicate & copies of some other means of I.D)(in my case, also change of mailing address with explanation & proof), get a BANK check =$10.00 (no personal), mail all in to your choice DMV. WAIT. Still waiting!

I'm sure you can go there and set up an appointment but I don't think you would be able to walk in and walk out with everything straightened out the same day but it's worth a shot

When applying for any of the ID's, the person who is usually processing your application will ask if you need glasses to drive if you are wearing them as for applying for a Real ID you need to call ahead and schedule an appointment to get a Real ID then they will tell you over the phone about what you will need to bring in with you for the appointment.

What do I do to get my vehicle that I purchased in CT to my new Hampshire home

Steven Rafuse | Sep 3, 2019
Peter Davidowicz | Sep 3, 2019

It needs to be registered in either state. Newly transferred title is valid registration for some time I think 7days. Look up vehicle registration requirements. Alternatively you can have it towed up.

Buying car from Ma Dealer. How does one get temporary plate to cover trip back and time needed to register in Salem

James Gaffney III | Sep 3, 2019
Tammy | Sep 2, 2020

When I purchased my car in MA they told me they couldn’t supply temp plates. The sales person from the dealership met me at town hall delivered my car there, he also took my trade in. We both went into town hall and I registered the car then. He supplied town hall with the paperwork. I just transferred my plates over and he drove my trade in back to the dealership.
