Great service and customer service, all the people were so friendly. I was told walk ins are closed but there is one appointment available which I signed up for on my phone and got the service I needed. Albany DMV should have staff rotate here so they can learn some new things like customer service.

My father and I went to this DMV last Monday to do vehicle transfer ownership, two ladies (receptionist and an agent at desk number 1 - Shelly) are welcoming and well-organized. They were professional, respectful and extremely kind. We thankful for the incredible customer services. Keep up the great work.

The person at front desk who puts you on waiting list is usually good and helpful. Everything after that is downhill. This is a collective experience of coming here for last 4 years for license renewal. The window agents are clueless what to do with immigrant visa based drivers license applications. So they fax it to Albany and wait. That's ok. It's procedural. But to tell me - I don't know what is all this, What should I do with this document? I have told them atleast on 2 occasions on what they need to do to help me. 2 of 5 times when I have been here, they told me about a missing document (let's assume my fault), but when I ask them please tell me everything you need so on my next visit I can bring everything. They tell me, that's the only document you need. And then, non surprisingly, they would still end up asking me for another document that they never mentioned. I think they could do with more training on how to deal with visa based cases for drivers license. The people there stand long hours and definitely want to help everyone out, but they should know that we too share the frustration of extra paperwork for visa based license requirements. Please just be more empathetic.

Is a reservation or appointment still necessary?

Nancy Lane | Sep 7, 2022
Sean “ProphetSoup” Campbell | Sep 7, 2022

They do take walk-ins but they can (and did for us 2 weeks ago) get to a point were they will let you wait but not guarantee you will actually be seen. We then made a reservation for the next week. Still waited close to a hour. But they did tell us that when we got there. Almost sad but had to go back to the DMV a couple days later but went to Ballston Spa this time. It was much faster and they don't take reservations in and out in 10 minutes
