Re: Bad DMV experiences?

[(Anonymous)]

What the hell? That's crazy. I'm not American, but I've heard jokes about the DMV - is this a usual thing, I mean, would you usually wait hours? Unreal.

Re: Bad DMV experiences?

[(Anonymous)]

They'd been closed for an entire week (which I wasn't aware of), updating their system. None of the employees knew how to use the new one. Also, there was only one teller. Unusual and sucky.

It really depends. If you plan well, you don't have to wait. I go super early on Saturday mornings and never have a problem if I go in the middle of the month. I also go to certain ones because some locations are worse than others.

Plus everyone's experience is going to vary state by state.

.....your DMV is open on Saturdays?
*boggles*

Re: Bad DMV experiences?

[shortysc22]

Yeah, but only until 1. It's because the each DMV is only open after 4:30 one night a week, so to accommodate everyone they open on Saturdays.

I live in NJ and as far as I can remember, they've always been open Saturdays 8-1. Or maybe 8-12 for the office, but I know the inspection station opens at 7 AM on Satudays so you want to get there between 730 and 8 for the best time. People wait on line there early.

Re: Bad DMV experiences?

[tabaqui]

Ha, nice. Ours is open 8-5, M-F, that's it. Closed on...apparently every holiday ever invented, because it does seem to be close a *lot*.

Worse, though, is the place where you take your license test. That's only open one day a week, and the wait is usually forever.

Re: Bad DMV experiences?

[shortysc22]

I think you can only take your practical license during the week. The Saturday hours are for renewals mostly and other paperwork issues. I took the written test at my high school, so I'm not sure how that works.

The DMV does close a lot, but since I only go on Saturdays super early, I've never noticed.

Re: Bad DMV experiences?

7 hours is unusual, but it is typical in many states and at many offices for there to be a wait of an hour or more, and for the service to be rotten.

I'm lucky that, where I live now, the closest office to me is tiny, tucked away, and rarely busy. When I've had to go, I've been in and out in under 10 minutes, which is amazing.

Re: Bad DMV experiences?

I've had perfectly fine experiences and speedy service in suburban and small city DMVs. (In Iowa City there was absolutely no waiting and they printed my new license immediately right there.) Big city DMVs are another thing entirely. I actually avoid the one closest to me and drive to a different one because it's actually faster even though it takes longer to get there.

Re: Bad DMV experiences?

I'm surprised to hear that! I live in one of the biggest cities in the US and I don't think I've ever waited more than an hour at the DMV. They've got the process pretty streamlined here so you're usually in and out fairly quickly.
