Don’t bother calling. They don’t answer their phones.
Not impressed. The person taking care of me mumbled so I had great difficulty understanding her. I was told I needed an appointment but when I got home I discovered there were 5 appointments not being used - why wasn't I advised of this?
Also, I told her yesterday that I had tried to renew online but could never get to the 2nd page; so today she "issued a duplicate" when I requested renewal.
AND, she insisted that I had clicked duplicate.
I had clicked on Renew License but it never would go the the "next" page.
Why would I want a duplicate of an expired license??
Next time I will go to the Tatum Drive DMV.
Yes it is further but they know what they're doing and even have a machine I could've used.

I have been trying to call the office in Summit and Hattiesburg to set up an appointment but an unable to reach anyone. The call goes directly to an automated message that basically says to call whatever government agency direct. That’s exactly what I’m trying to do but for some reason the offices my tax dollars pay to run are not taking calls. I don’t know what’s going on but it needs to be fixed!
This site seems very unorganized. Not nearly enough seating. Waited well over an hour for grandson to take permit test. Many people standing. Numbers called very slowly.
We changed our address on our licenses on June 11, 2024 at the Kiln location. We had trouble finding the place. We called the place and the manager gave us direction and even went outside to wave us down. Great customer service.
