I had a good experience. I had to transfer my registration from one car to another. I went online to their website and scheduled an appointment. (DMV is “by appointment only “). When you make the appointment you’ll receive a email and text message confirming your appointment. The confirmation will have a code that you will need. If you look on the website you’ll see what you need to bring for what you’re trying to do. I filled out the required form and brought everything I needed to have. I walked in a few minutes before my appointment time. A person checked off my name and I entered that code in a kiosk. It printed a small paper with a number on it. You have a seat and listen for your number. When announced it tells you which station to go to. If you have the correct paperwork etc you’re good to go. I was in and out of there in about 10 minutes. It being done by appointment makes the wait time a matter of a couple of minutes.

I’m active duty military who is stationed out of state with a CT ID. I did my research before coming in regarding license renewal and motorcycle endorsement. I came in and the worker had no idea how to help me, yet rudely kept telling me incorrect info. I tried showing her what the DMV website says for my situation but she wouldn’t read it or listen. Safe to say I’m done with CT, after this I’m changing everything over to the state I’m stationed. Incompetent and rude for no reason!

Um I don't know if the security guard knows that it a DMV not a hospital. I guess there is no smoking now on DMV property. And why is the security guard armed, if that's is really necessary then maybe you should fix whatever is making people mad enough to justify him being armed. Besides that actually fast the apartment system works. You still should be able to walk in to at least one of the DMVs though.

I purchased a trailer out of state, I have the title the trailer is still registerd to the seller out of state? can I still haul my trailer back to registerin conn., or can I get a temporary plate? advise dan

Daniel J. Murphy | Jun 16, 2022
Patty B | Jul 16, 2022

If it is still registered to the seller, you can use it because it's a valid reg. Just be careful because the insurance may not cover anything if you had a accident with it. I personally would just play it safe and get a temporary plate.

They adhere to the appointments very strictly, and an attendant checks you in in the parking lot. They do give you a grace period of five or 10 minutes. They only allow one person in the DMV building, no visitors. Outside the building, a nurse checks your temp, has you sanitize your hand, and gives you all the questions about whether you've been out of state, to Europe, Etc . They give you a number, tell you where to sit and, honest to God, the wait is only about 10 15 minutes! You'll think you're in the wrong place it's so painless! Everyone agrees that they should have done this long ago, and most of the counter people seem to feel they will continue to do it this way after Civid is no longer an issue. No kidding though, the appointments are dead serious. If you're late they'll just send you away and tell you to make another appointment. 😅😅😅

Ruth Pekari | Oct 14, 2020
Tiffany | Oct 14, 2020

You have to make an appointment first online. You won't have to stand for long. You stand in line outside for a bit then once you are called in they have you sit a a 6ft social distancing

When calling Old Saybrook DMV they say that motor vehicle credentials have been extended for Aug & Sep. Does this mean your drivers license renewal.

I purchased a truck from a New York dealer and paid the Connecticut sales tax, the dealer then send the registration to the New York DMV and they in turn would pass the registration to the CT DMV. It was been 8 weeks and I have not heard anything?

A Google User | Oct 14, 2020
Cheryl Dascomb | Oct 14, 2020

I would call the dealership and see if you can get all the papereork make an appointment and register yourself. I just purchased a truck from Massachusetts, made an appointment with DMV online, took all the paperwork from the dealership and had my truck on the road within a week

Was there taking 4 weeks

we dropped of paper work in the drop box on 5/21/2020 for new plates, can you tell me when this will be completed. it is for my wife Kimberly Mattingly

Keith Mattingly | Oct 14, 2020
Elijah Lawrence | Oct 14, 2020

I dropped my stuff off on 06/02 and still have not heard back either. They said the average turnaround time is around 20 days, which means realistically it'll take 20-30 days. If you included a check in your envelope you don't need to do anything except wait for your plates to show up in the mail. If you didn't include a check keep your phone on you as you will be called to submit payment. Unfortunately there's absolutely nothing any of us can do right now. Just know that it will be completed at some point. I wouldn't start worrying until you hit the 40 day mark.

Lindsey Neri (Lili) | Oct 15, 2019
Neil Falvey | Oct 15, 2019

I think you get a partial refund for the unused months. Also, be sure to turn in the plates. DMV will issue a receipt to give to your local tax assessor so you don't continue to pay property tax on the vehicle.

IF! you have "your act together", research what IS required, follow the posted on-line requirements, it moves very quickly. Most everyone that goes to DMV, are totally lazy and stupidly expecting to have DMV employees do your work for you! If in doubt call Weathersfield, DMV and ask or, GO ON-LINE.!!? Take careful notes and follow the notes. You can do many things " on-line" and never have to go to DMV! It aint rocket science!
