Had an appointment at 12pm for road test but they made me wait 5 HOURS because apparently they forgot and when I asked what’s going on they said I looked younger for my age so they thought the person taking the test left so they didn’t bother to call for me. After all that, the dude who was taking my test kept on asking me some personal questions regarding my family and stuff, that had nothing to do with the exam and he just kept on talking during the whole test on irreverent topic and even made racist comment and made me take off my mask during pandemic to match me with my id picture and he said “I have to make sure you know, all Chinese people look same so” l was too stunned to speak and I’m not Chinese. If you’re wondering He’s that one old dude whose beard is all white but hair is black. He really likes being in everyone’s business but his own. It was so bad I wanted to give it a zero but that’s not possible so I give it a one.

Yes, I'm really rating a DMV with five stars. But that's probably because what I needed was simple documentation so please don't throw rocks at me yet.
How to get here via Metro: Take the metro to Eisenhower Avenue. If you're crazy like me and want to walk in 80 degree heat at 7:00am it's super easy. You get off at Eisenhower Ave Metro, look for the Holiday Inn, then you see the bridge take a walk there and then when you see Mill Road make a right and walk straight down.
Advice: You don't need an appointment here. I would suggest coming in at least 30 minutes prior to opening. Have your documents ready. I had my VA license and needed a Driving record. I got it done in less than five minutes. Didn't need to fill out any paperwork. Just got a number and paid the 9.00 for a certified record. They even have a barcode to scan so you can rate the service.

I have used this DMV my whole driving life. The process is much improved and, while the wait can be long, it it no fault of the employees. There are just too many people coming at the same time.
Friendly employees every time I go!

I had a really seamless experience here! I made an appointment a month out to replace my out of state ID with a VA REAL ID. I forgot my passport but they allowed me to go home and come back same day which was a godsend! They also let me retake my photo which I thought was really considerate. The entire staff was really pleasant, and the environment was clean and calm. Best DMV experience ever!
Online will not let me update what should I do now?

You have to either call dmv customer service line, or keep trying online. You can only do certain services on specific days so you have to get through to be able to change to the appropriate day.

Ok so my license is expired do I need a new license to register tags?
Frankie Simpson | Aug 7, 2021
Ameer Hamza | Aug 8, 2021
No, lisence is not required to register for the tags.
Appointments are mandatory. Depends on what is needed (I think). Ours was for title transfer and new registration/tags. 2 week date from making appointment online.
I'm not sure. Also, they're only taking appointments at this time. My appt was today, but I set it in early March.
I missed my scheduled appointment. My license expires in a little over two weeks. I do not see available appointments available before then. What should I do?
Whit Morgan | Jun 8, 2021
Antonio Booth | Jun 9, 2021
If I was you I would ride there and talk to the agent outside...she's very helpful and my tags was expiring in one week . She said as long as you have your appointment set you are good

Can you obtain a new drivers license and plates when we move from Pennsylvania
Marcia and Don Feinberg | Nov 5, 2020
Prabhu Bhoopathy | Nov 6, 2020
Yes you can... but Only by appointment... Try to get 2 appointments, 1 for New DL and 1 for plates... They won't combine and give you in single appointment, so must 2 appointments. I know it's a stupid rule inside the DMV
About compliance, I need to talk to the agent, can I come to the office?without appointment?
Eva Pascual | Nov 5, 2020
Prabhu Bhoopathy | Nov 6, 2020
Nope... Without appointment they even won't allow you to enter the premises. Appointment is a must for even asking doubts and questions.
Don't you send the plates in mail with tracking numbers? So that you must have a evidence that you have returned it and then go ahead of cancelling your insurance.
The driving test schedule available on the DMV web-site is October. But my learner's permit expires in September. Then do I have to take the written test again?

Well try to make an other appointment using the handicap option, then when you get there to the door just tell them that you have that appointment but wait to say what really need until you go to the window, because there is not other way.
