Newark New Jersey MVC Reviews and Tips
The parking was fine, plenty of space. The wait was not too long even though we have pandemic. The staff was helpful and friendly. Tip is to not let people stand too close to each other when there are not seats.

All I wanted to know was whether or not the Newark location still performs vehicle inspections. After going through a long series of automated prompts, I simply looped around back to the starting menu.Never got my question answered or allowed to speak with anyone.

today i got my appointment to renew my license to upgrade for a real id. The lady who attends me was very rude and disrespectful. Racist just because i was missing. A bill as a proof she denied me for me to get my real id. in top of that she told me u didn't read right? she denied me. she didn't give me any other option a least for me to renew my regular license. ti was another worker who joint the conversation and said the i was able to renew my license until my next appointment day the lady gave me for 5/20 knowing my license expire march,18. i told the lady but my license expires March 18.and the appointment it's for May 20. she said Well do not drive! i she told me she was supervisor for 20 years. how it's possible to have a supervisor there who mistreats customers? very racist just because I'm Hispanic. if she is a supervisor there they should remove her from her position. she doesn't have good ethics at all as a supervisor

Well first and foremost let me my name is Mr Knight and I went to the DMV I go every 7 days trying to get my permit I mean my license it took me 58 years to get there but I'm there and the way they got to set up it's just not right I mean I've been on YouTube on the DMV learning test license thing and fully understand that because they asked you the question once you pick the right answer it gives you the understanding of that answer and the breakdown of that answer I went to the DMV in Newark New Jersey where I live at freezing hiding avenue and every time I go I take the test and they say if you don't know the answer to a question skip it and it supposed to come back around asking you in a different format but it keeps coming back around with the same darn question it is frustrated and aggravating because this is how I'm failing I took the test on YouTube for the DMV and passed it at 95% meaning I almost got a perfect hunted but I get down here to the DMV on prison heightsen avenue and I take the test I get all the way up to question 37 which is right and then here come these weird ass questions that have nothing to do with driving education religion what what that got to do with driving The education part I get but what does religion has to do with driving so I couldn't answer that question I skipped it hoping that when it came back around and asking a different format to give me a better understanding so I can pass the test but that didn't happen same question so I skipped it again went to the next question it couldn't answer it and it's not that I'm done with stupid I have a learning disability and it hurts because people are lestimate my goodness and what I can do and because they do it I start thinking negative about myself That's not the way to run the business people come in here to take a test you should have the obligation and the respect to want to help that person that make you take your hat off your hoodie turn your phone off no talking see this is the problem I do good when I take tests on my own where I hear nothing to distract me I'm always distracted when I take my test because somebody starts with noise while they sitting talking not supposed to be and then you got the co-workers about maybe 5 ft in back of us from the table behind the counter they're talking the distraction but that test some of them answers on there is just unbelievable and ain't no secret I need help but I'm not a quitter I keep going and I keep taking the test and I keep feeling that test and I shouldn't so if they can hook that test up like the DMV test that's on YouTube a lot more people past that test and then they asked me another question on our site they got 10 to 50 20 to 50 40 to 50 and then 10 to 40 I'm thinking the 10 to 25th is the answer but I couldn't deal with it because I didn't know what your eyesight if it ain't 50/50 I don't know what it is they just wrong and I'm pretty do something about it because I need to get my license to drive my wife around cuz I don't want her walking it's too much evil stuff going on in this world and I need her to be safe and by my will she will be safe through the grace of God you heard Amen in the name of Jesus
