Went to the DMV today and it was by far the quickest and easiest licensing experience of my life.
Had an appointment for 2:40. Arrived early, around 1. Asked if I should check in now and come back later, or just come back closer to my appointment time. They invited me in on the spot. A quick Covid questionnaire later and I was in the waiting room with no one ahead of me. Less than a moment later they called my number. I walked up, handed over my documentation, they verified it, and I was back out the door.
Mission accomplished. Probably less than 15 minutes, all-in.
Permanent card arrives in 2 weeks.
I’m impressed.
