No one answers the phone. Why bother!
web sight for dmv doesn't work. no one answers the phone. sad
I didn’t make an appointment because the first available was 7 days away. I had to wait 2 hours and 34 minutes for a name change on my license, something that took 5 minutes when my number was called. They may have been seriously understaffed. Make an appointment if you can. If you can’t wait, bring a book or work to keep you occupied.
The covid procedures seemed good - people were following the mask rules and generally spread out. Parking is fine, easy enough to get there. I did not have any problems competing the license transfer.
Scheduling on the website was kind of a pain in the ass. The initial scheduling was fine, but when I needed to reschedule, the website just spun a loading indicator indefinitely, and then I had to call on the phone which had a 26 person wait list. So make sure you are super certain you won't have to reschedule.

Don't go in until right before appt, wear a mask as everyone has to, parking is right out front, people were very nice. You have to take a number for your agent which is called quickly. The front desk makes sure you have an appt.
