My time was wasted today. I could not renew vehicle registration online. I called ahead of time to make sure I could renew my vehicle's tag in-person and to bring the correct documents. The staff on the phone knew I was changing my address to a different county in TN. When I arrived and after waiting in line, I was told I could no renew and need to go to my current county's clerks office. Please be consistent with what is communicated in person and over the phone.

Been here several times & rarely seen all 11 stations open. Once again today they had a massive total of 4 stations open during lunch time. How pathetic!! The majority of us have to get back at work to pay taxes to get treated like this.

These folks are the best!!!!! We are in New York and needed registration and they sent it VERY quickly!! Yes the on hold time took a few but, just like EVERY business in America, they too are short staffed! Again, Thanks for your prompt service

I just waited on hold in silence for 45 minutes to ask a question, and no one ever came to the phone. Very disappointing, as I need information about marriage licenses coming from another state. I will just work with a different county.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Been calling for a month solid. No one answers ... EVER. You stay on hold for 10 minutes and then they disconnect you.

How on earth do I get a real person on the phone??!!! I keep goin in a que then disconnected. So frustrating!!! I ordered a personalized plate. My email said to contact them to see if it came in. But there is no way to reach anyone.

What is wait in line time at the Williamson county tag renewal office in franklin?

I went last week on Tuesday around 11:30 and waited for an hour....my husband went a few week ago and waited 10 minutes....I think it depends on what day and what time of day you go...totally hit or miss....I would avoid lunch time if you can because I noticed that 3 of the 6 people working left for their lunch break while I was inside the office in line....just know if you drive up and the line is outside the building you're looking at at least an hour wait. Hope that helps!

After all these years and massive county growth, you would think the Williamson County Clerks office would have figured out how to build a better mousetrap addressing efficiency. Still standing in line for 45 minutes or more is beyond frustrating.

That's nothing (not to belittle your situation Greg), when I was in line to get my renewal stickers with about 50 others, it took us about 2½ hours. You're right Greg. It needs improvement. We also need to be aware of the inherent issues of staffing during the'pandemic'.

Does anyone ever answer the phone? I've called 4 times, placed on hold for over 20 minutes and then disconnected.

I had to wait in line to get the county sticker because I was coming in from Bradley county. It was last week for 2.5 hours. If you get there by 8 ( which I didn't) the line should be much shorter, according to the volunteer. Don't bother with the phone. You'll not get them. Took me 3 weeks to figure that out 😉

Hello, I don't have an ID. What I have is my birth certificate. Will I be able to register a vehicle in my name with what I have?

Salomon Briones | Mar 3, 2022

You will likely be asked to prove residency with a utility bill and or tax record. Every county is priced differently. Maybe use your birth certificate to get a state ID where you live before you go in? GL

Why on the day after Thanksgiving is there nothing but a recording saying the office will be closed on Nov. 11 and open again on Nov 12? As many have noted, they will neither answer the phone nor reply to emails.

I relocated from out of state and got Montgomery County plates last year. I recently moved to Williamson County. Passed the emissions Saturday. Can I renew in Williamson County on-line or by mail? Or do I have to go in person?

Tracy Willis | Sep 29, 2021
Melanie Poynor | Sep 29, 2021

You would have to go in because your coming from a new county or mail in 25.75 asking for a Williamson county sticker and give us the new address we'll mail it back

if we do not have our car registration can we renew our tag that is about to expire. This is the first time to renew since we purchased. I believe the dealer did the initial registration.

Sherry Hadaway | Sep 29, 2021
J G | Sep 29, 2021

You should have some paperwork from the dealership on that. You need to get an emissions test before going to the clerk's office.

You can renew online but I think you have to go to their office for new registrations. But, I was there last week and they move quickly and the lines are Covid conscious.

Dianne Tant | Sep 29, 2020
David Martin | Sep 29, 2020

If new means tags (stickers) only then Yes! Below has a kiosk, friendly staff and it is very fast. See my review at Franklin Recreation Complex. If you need new license plates then you must go to the County Clerk. 1120 Hillsboro Rd, Franklin, TN 37064 (615) 790-5719 https://maps.app.goo.gl/foZY58FtdRuPPhsJ8

I just wanted to ask a simple question.. I want to order or buy there at vehicle renewal office a specialty plate and just want to know if that plate is good for as long as I want it? and I just come in to get renewal?

Judy Ladd | Sep 29, 2020
vicky tuttle | Sep 29, 2020

Usually when you buy a specialty plate, it is supposed to be like a regular license plate. In order to get a renewal you need to get down there by 6:30am on Monday to get a number for when to come back. There only open 3 days a week. Mon. ,Tues and Thurs.

Do I need to have an appt. to get my tag renewals or can I just show up?

We bought a car in Franklin from a dealership a year and a half ago. They never sent the tag. I stopped by one day and asked there. They hadn't sent it. It was in someone's office in a mailer addressed to us. Postmarked about a week after we bought it.

Take the test. Which requires an appointment. You will need a birth certificate proof of address.

Moving to Franklin or Spring Hill from Colorado around May. Will I need a Tn Driver Lic BEFORE I get my tags? Can I do it the same day? Also wondered if they are more pricey there than here. I have an 03 Land Cruiser, wife has a 2013 Acura MDX.

Tony Anderson | Sep 30, 2018
Ginny Lynch | Sep 30, 2018

Yes tn lic before tags. You should be able to do it the same day. No price differences on auto. Unless it is commercial. Standard price for all passenger vehicles. I believe it is around $52.
