The process of obtaining my child's learner's permit could not have been easier or more efficient. We had an appointment and were helped by Louis, who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We were in and out of the building in less than 20 minutes. Parking was easy too.

Why is it...people who work at DMV / RMV are always disgruntled?? If they feel like they aren't getting fair treatment or they don't like their job they should stay home and look for other employment.. Clearly, I just moved to this state better assistant in helping to understand the process would have been very helpful..got none from this place...What if....

After finally opening last Fall I had a simple question about driving tests. The info person had no clue and the strangest thing he said was to go wait in an adjoining parking garage to find the Staff who performed the driving tests!!I had asked the info person to ask their supervisor about it, he called them and I just recieved another 'I don't know' from them!! I asked the officer at the door about my question. He led me to the other side of the office. There was the office for driving tests with officers right there who answered my question right away. Not sure what that was all about. I will say one good thing... there was no wait!!!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

kenny larkin | Sep 6, 2019

Pretty simple just go to the nearest registry and as long as your license is in good standing you just go get your pic taken and pay the fee. Welcome to our little hell hole we like to call home. Bring proof of new address.
