I wish I could give this place 0 stars. To start off, I had a drivers exam this morning at 9 am. Not only was my examiner (Kenny) late, he was very rude to me after I told him that I had to use a driving school car given mine didn’t have a break. He was extremely rude, impatient, and aggressive during my exam. For instance, whenever I made a mistake, he would get extremely angry by screaming in my face. He was also rude whenever I asked him a question about what direction to turn and even grabbed my steering wheel at towards the end of the test. at me Keep in mind I would not have failed this exam if I was allowed to use my own car and if I had an examiner who has a better attitude. Overall, very disappointing service, as I would not recommend taking your exam here given the poor service and rude employees. Please take your money elsewhere.

I passed my class D road test here today. The examiner was a nice guy. After checking all the documents he asked me to show hand signals, basic car controls (signals & lights), and we went on the road for the remainder of the test. I was asked to switch lanes, demonstrate 3 point turn, backup the car, and parallel park at the RMV. The test ended within 15 minutes. The test is easy. I’d recommend taking a ride in the surrounding area with your trainer/sponsor before your road test to get familiar with the roads, turns, signals, and see if you are making any mistakes and avoid them in your test.

Should be explained clearly that an appointment is simply for crowd control, and has little to do with when you'll actually be seen.
I had an 11:00am appointment, and received a ticket that said L98. The current number being helped? L50. Brutal. I'm glad I came on my day off; don't need to worry about timing like a working person would.
Ended up being seen around 1am.
This would've been a 1-star review, but the woman helping me at the counter was super efficient.

Honestly I had a nice experience here. I made an appointment, filled out my application online, and it was very orderly. I maybe waited 15 minutes to be called up. The lady was nice (not at all rude) and helped me get my real ID and my name changed on my license. Even my picture actually looked good here :0 I was prepared for something bad, but it was really easy and smooth.
2 proofs of Address must be within 60 days

I used to work as a safety emissions inspector (responsible for passing/failing cars for safety/emissions and dishing out stickers). In order for your check engine or any other cpu check light to be reset on your vehicle after you have the work done to fix the problem, you must first drive your car for roughly a half hour (preferably high way miles). This process allows for the cpu to reset and your dash light to disappear.
I recently moved from out of state. It says you need to show a signed and stamped auto insurance card. Is this accurate? My cards are all digital.. 🙄

Hi Elizabeth, it is always better to keep a hard(paper) copy on your car. I got into an accident last month and was so much easier to exchange information with the copies on my hands. But, It is not mandatory.

Daija Miller | Jun 6, 2021

They don't print cards on location, but send them through the mail, which usually takes less than a week. I couldn't say why they aren't answering, if you called during business hours

That's strange. I went for renewal of my driver's license 2 weeks ago (a few days after you) and I received my new License (Real ID) in only 8 days. I would suggest for a quick response you call them to see if something has gone wrong in the process of maling, because RMV employees might not check the comments here to answer your question.

Karuna Cstha | Dec 3, 2020
David Breen | Dec 4, 2020
They should have issued you a paper license and mailed you the regular license within ten days. You get the temp license as soon as they finish the road test.
It could mean a number of things. 1. Have you changed your name
2. Maybe there was a typo from your last visit with your name.
3. Might be an AAMVA check. Go online and schedule an appointment and if your currently residing in Watertown the location you would need to renew your license at will ne Haymarket 138 Blackston Street.
.That's a Nationi Driver's history check performed by the Dot through the RMV. I hoped I answered your question. Request your drivers record history. Go to rmv.gov

7 percent usually,if the value of the car that you bought is normal. If you write lower price to title to avoid taxes,they have a system which compares model year and car model and offers the lowest price in the market and they get tax from that value.

The RMV web site for Watertown indicates that there are no extended hours (closes at 5:00 P.M.)...none. Though, I believe if you are in the facility, and in line before 5:00 with all necessary documentation, that, they may service you after 5:00 P.M. The RMV is typically closed on all Federal and State holidays.
