Go online and schedule an appointment. If that's not available, google dmv kiosk and pay the machine. This is the fastest and most efficient.
If you can renew online def. better, but if you need to go in person recommend you do so on a Monday morning a plan a full day (just in case). Dmv opens at 8am but I was told line starts to form by 6. You can try to call to make an appointment. I took my kid for a temp license test so it didn't take us long (about 1 hour there) but we didn't have to get in line. Also, they stop giving numbers by 3:30. So if you arrive in the afternoon to a long line you may not get seen that day.
Best go online. This DMV location is wack. Took 5 attempts total (not counting online attempt) to get truck registered. Why FIVE TIMES do you ask? Couldn't do on-line due address change. In-person line was so long it zig-zagged all the way out driveway and down side walk. I get back spasms standing long periods. That is why the two first times I went, I couldn't wait any longer. Finally paid tags day before yest after waiting from 1030am. and didn't leave DMV until almost 2pm. Went yesterday, arrived well before closing. Got in a line, waited about 15 min. Then got turned away. Went today, got there 2pm. Waited in line, and at 330pm they said we were on standby because of ticket issuing prob. I told them why didn't they get in the line to tell us earlier. The other issue is when I got there, I informed them I had a work injury that makes me unable to stand for long periods...that had a handicap and could I have a place to sit. DMV guy said I need to get a form. WTH? No 6 ft either
