I had a 9 am appointment so I showed up at 8:25 am on a Tuesday. I was let in for my appointment at 8:33 and I was out the door at 9. Definitely make an appointment because those people without one were probably waiting for a while.

It's the dmv.....do I really need to explain the details of one of the most undesirable places to go sit for several hours. I will say that they have streamlined it alot and it's much smoother now.

People are nice enough but slower than slow. Why do we make appointments when they aren't even remotely close to being stuck to. At 12pm all but one employee went to lunch leaving a 3/4 full waiting room waiting even longer. Obvious feeling of anger is filling the waiting room as people wait with no end in sight. When you schedule an appointment you might as well take your entire day off.

Very pleasant people here. My room mate was using my car for a drivers test. The instructor patiently waited for me to get my current updated insurance ID card from my broker (I didn’t have it in my vehicle) and I was late to the table…..all the desk clerks were very cool (I watched as I was waiting for my room mate to do his test). Very clean and organized!!

They have a testing area to the left when you go in. I do recommend you visit their website for all the rules and regulations. As well as verify you have all the documents you will need in hand.

When pre-applying for a learner's permit online, all my information is correct and in the correct formats. My SSN keeps being rejected, and I'm not sure why. What do I do? Go in-person to the D.O.L.?

Steve Bradfute | Aug 16, 2019

I would check with Social Security first. If you go in, bring your original document with you. Be prepared for a long wait and many returns. I had to go 6 times to get my daughter's social security number, oh and get a supervisor as well.
