This DMV is small but not too crowded. The lady at the information desk is quick and helpful🙏❤️ online appointment is quick but walk-in isn’t too bad in the afternoon!

I had a great experience here compared to other DMV offices. The person processing my documents was very nice and professional. Total time from walk in with no appointment was less than one hour.

Better than DMV in Maryland. But I do not understand why we have to make an appointment if we still need to get in line with the non-appointments

Came here twice in the same week. Both times I was greeted by security guards warmly. And the people I dealt with inside were kind and helpful. This place is obviously ran pretty well. One of the best DMVS I've been to in a while.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

i have the emission done on my car what do i need to get my sticker

angie young | Oct 21, 2018
Vijay | Oct 21, 2018

Once you get your emission and safety inspection done they will stick a decal on the left side of your car windshield and provide you with certificates. you can then visit any DMV with certificates and supporting documents to change your car title and registration. you will need passport, old registration/title, 2 address proofs of current address, ssn. good luck!

Do you need an appointment to renew your license if it has expired?

Mary Ann Hoffer | Oct 20, 2021
Nadezhda Mouzykina | Oct 20, 2021

Yes. You can get one at any of the locations, but you should start looking way in advance. They're pretty booked up. One suggestion as well is to keep checking daily if you need an earlier appointment - people cancel or reschedule, so spots open up.

Tamirat Gezahegn | Oct 20, 2021

You need to go online at DmvNow.com and look for the forms for driver license. You will also need to bring forms to confirm your identity. They will schedule you an appointment. Please be on time and have all the necessary forms. Good luck.

Traci Altman | Oct 20, 2021
Gregory Anderson | Oct 20, 2021

Dont wait for DMV to contact you. Go online and make another appointment. Check every day to see if there's a cancellation.

Unfortunately, the Cdl learner's permit is the only permit capable of renewal. You would have to take the driving test or start over once the permit expires.

I need to have my car title changed from my ex-husband and me as joint owners to having only me as the sole owner. What do I need to do and bring to the DMV?

Samantha Madden | Oct 21, 2019

Julie is correct. You both sign as sellers and you alone sign as buyer. Transfer of plates is $2 or 3. New plates (if regular) are 42.75 for 1 year and 83.50 for 2 years.

Im applying for out of state tags what do I need to have?

Delcina McNeely | Oct 21, 2018
Julie Jahanpour | Oct 21, 2018

Proof of sales tax paid in another state(usually from your bill of sale when you purchased) or proof that you've owned it more than 1 year (old registration) AND a title or registration already in your name. If you have a loan on it, just the registration is fine. If you do not have a loan, the title is best but not required.
