Still can't believe this is an actual DMV office... I got my brand new license in 2 days. 1 day was the application, and the next was the driving test (I barely passed on my first attempt!). The staff here are real nice too, which is also quite weird!

The staff was very knowledgeable and helped me through my renewal and change of address. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

I went without an appointment on a weekday around 3pm. I was in and out within 45min. They do have a kiosk that offers many services (including tags) that I just walk up to, tap a few prompts in the touch screen, swipe your card ( dont remember if cash was accepted) and done! And yes when you go in they will issue a temporary drivers liscene until the new one comes in the mail. Its a small form but is only for driving and not a vault form of ID
