A visit to the dmv is usually heavily frowned upon. However on my visit yesterday I was thoroughly pleased. From the initial greeting throughout all the jokes in between & eventually my leaving this office in Metairie, LA on Veterans Blvd. Ms Sandra was very professional, helpful & attentive to all of my inquiries. She was able to navigate & troubleshoot through any of my concerns on a (computer) system that seems to often fail. Subsequently leaving dmv clients uptight & frustrated. Ms Sandra & her supporting staff @ this office run like a well oiled machine. All things like computer glitches considered. Thank you Ms Sandra.

Got sent off from the DMV by West End because they couldn’t take anymore walk-ins and came here instead. Shorter lines and wait time. Waited only 5-10 mins instead of an hour or more. Got duplicate driver’s license here for $40. They only take cash though. Highly recommended if you just need a duplicate driver’s license. Ladies there are sweet, also!

Open 8AM-4PM Monday thru Friday.
Google Maps will show the busy days and times so you can pick what's best for you.
I've been at different times and never had to wait more than 10 minutes or so.
Probably not a good idea to go during lunch or close to closing - if you can avoid it!

Hsoj Ettedrub | Sep 27, 2021
Zachary LeBourgeois | Sep 27, 2021
If you've never had a license, then yes, chances are you will have to take classes and a test, pretty simple common sense stuff, but for the driving test youll prolly have to provide the vehicle to drive the block, as to where to take them, im not very sure cause with covid the dmv stopped doing alot of different things, my advise is to find out what time the dmv opens and start calling them like 5 mins early back to back till like 30 seconds before they open and like 15 seconds after time makes its mark start calling again, if you follow those instructions, you shouldnt have much of a problem reaching them, otherwise fat chance you may never get through less they expanded the calling center, i hope that helps

$32.50 plus $18 convenience fee for not having to wait at the OMV for the entire day. Youll be in and out of here in 10 minutes or less. Cash only.

How much is it for DL address change? What are method of payments accepted?
Pamela Lewis | Sep 28, 2018
Christopher Saaidi | Sep 28, 2018
If your license isnt expired, you should only have to pay the $18.00 or $18.50 fee for a replacement (plus the $18 service fee that Express OMV charges in exchange for not wasting your entire day at a state-run OMV and the courteous service -- well worth it!). You'll need two proofs of your current address -- please read my review for a huge list of examples. Cash is accepted, but they have an ATM inside.
