This was the quickest and easiest interaction I’ve ever had at a DMV across three different states. Staff were helpful, courteous, and quick.
Make sure you register online for an appointment and bring the paperwork you need; like a lot of the dmv offices, they might be booked out 2 weeks in advance. But once you get there, the staff are very helpful.
Additionally: a lot of the reviews here were based on the old office, or were written when the office was closed. The office has been recently renovated and it is open during the hours indicated.

The satellite branch in Putnam is permanently CLOSED!! Would it be too much to ask for the DMV to update their website?? Of course it would.
Update: YAY! They just opened a new modern office in Putnam (July 2022). Now please remove that old eyesore shack. Soon!

That's your best bet since what you need is based on certain questions/criteria.
No you cannot. They will require a name change document from the judge of probate.

DMV can do nothing. Best to contact the State Attorney General.
Does a verified driver lic cost more? Is it really worth it? Paper temporary lic now??? So what if I don't receive new one before expiration? This seems a little like going backwards. Other states are still allowing renewal online... Ct seriously...
Lisa Zicolella | Mar 19, 2019
L. Poper | Mar 20, 2019
It doesn't cost more but by 2020 you won't be able to fly domestically without one. I don't really remember anything else about it. Yeah the paper license is stupid but I just had to go thru that a few months ago and my license actually did arrive quickly. I grew up in MA and we thought the DMV there was insane but it's almost pleasant compared to CT lol. Here in Putnam they're not so great with accurate information and they're not above making little old ladies cry with they're ignorance over things like changing their name after marraige or divorce. smh
