Just like all DMVs, this one is just as miserable as the rest, people taking forever, can't get half the things done you're trying to do, I thought the reservation system would be better but it's just an excuse for them to see less people and move slower. Now this isn't a bad review for Alta Vista DMV specifically, every single d m v I have had the displeasure of dealing with have all been exactly the same.

The two ladies at the front desk were very rude and acted like they were royalty. My appearance was made fun by them and they were being very rudely sarcastic. Also, the eye rolling, the scoffing, and the cackling didn’t stop. 0/10-wouldnt recommend 😡

It's better to make an appointment than to do the walk in. It won't be as crowded.

Terrible service. I had a 12.20 appt. Didn't leave until 3.15 or so. None of 5 clerks could figure out how to process my new title bc previously had window tint which was removed. I had all paperwork. They had to get customer support from Richmond to fix issue.

How long do I have 2 get my deacls?

Tim Kelly | Dec 15, 2021
Michael Abbott | Dec 16, 2021

Depends, if you just moved to VA you have thirty days to transfer your registration. If your decals have expired then you have until the first day of the fourth month after they expired. It is still a traffic violation but you can't be stopped just for that.
