My husband is a CDL A truck driver transferring his license over from another state. He went in yesterday for the 3rd time trying to take the test for his hazmat endorsement. Which may I add he has held in two different states with two different licenses. Right when he walks through the doors they ask him if he’s taken the EDLT course which he hasn’t because he isn’t a beginner right out of school. They call the service desk and say well since you haven’t held a CT license you have to take it. One of the employees a male was very rude and just kept saying “Good day sir”. When he got back to the car and looked it up himself on the DOT page it stated itself that he didn’t need it. Of course he went back inside and made it known. They called the service desk again and he finally got to take the test which took all of 2 minutes after waiting an hour. He needed to have a picture taken because he now has a temporary license and a female employee told him “to smile like he just got away with something.” This whole situation has been ridiculous and if it wasn’t for CDL drivers like my husband the country wouldn’t run the way it does. So for the lack of respect and knowledge and even effort blows my mind.

This is the closest DMV to me. Ive been there multiple times in the past few years and every time I have to go at least three times because they never tell you what you need. You are either missing this or missing that or under this special circumstance this form is needed. The website is terrible too with barely any guidance and just pure word puke on the page, it's impossible to find all of the required information. The solution they propose? call and wait for 3 hours on hold to see if you can talk to someone. I'm tired of there terrible DMV locations. Something needs to change.

Betsy Hogan | Sep 22, 2020
Danielle Belden Wright | Sep 22, 2020

You have to make an appointment online. The appointments are available based on the reason for your visit. You have to search for the 1st available appointment based on what service you need. I suggest checking multiple locations to get the soonest available appointment. I live in E. Hartford and the soonest available appointment for license renewal was Willimantic. That location is very easy in and out. https://portal.ct.gov/DMV/Offices/Offices/Make-an-Appointment

What documents do I need to renew my drivers license to get the “official” ID?

Meghan Bradner | Sep 22, 2020
Señor Rice n Beans | Sep 22, 2020

Birth certificate OR passport, social security card OR W2 OR 1099, and two pieces of mail showing your name, resident address, and date that falls with 90 days. If your birth certificate shows a name that is not what is on your current license, you will have to provide a marriage certificate or other name change document. If the name has changed multiple times then you will have to provide name change documents for each name change. All documents must be original and unexpired. ss card should not be laminated. If ss is laminated or you provide a W2 or 1099 you will need a secondary ID such as an unexpected license, marriage certificate, baptismal certificate, school transcript, etc.

Jamielee Kimball | Sep 23, 2019

Go to the local DMV with your Dad. He will likely need a new photograph for the ID. You can print the application from the dmv website and bring it in to save time. The website will also tell you everything you need to have with you to save you from making an additional trip. If you cannot print the form, they will have the form you need available at the dmv. Simply go in and request an ID rather than a license.
