La Grande DMV Office: 3014 Island Ave La Grande, OR 97850

The building isn't at all what you'd expect. It's almost like it's in a strip mall. Which means lots of parking! There is plenty of seating and the wait time was next to nothing. The computer stations were old but clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful but seemed to be fairly new to working for the DMV. I recommend asking as many questions as possible and doing your own homework/research before you go in. If I had known more about the topic I was going in for I could have avoided a timely mistake and saved myself a lot of paperwork. As with any DMV, go early and expect it to take longer than you want it to. DMV stuff just takes a long time no matter the circumstances.

It used to be very easy to get help at the DMV in La Grande. Wait times were minimal and all questions were answered. Now users are required to browse thru a website that makes no sense unless you just happen to have a very simple question. The complex maze necessary to schedule an appointment is almost impossible to navigate. Covid is long gone, there is no need to maintain this idiotic, overly complex screening to interact with the DMV. Finally I decided I would try to call to ask my question and was told by the automated idiot that they would text me things I do not need because it can't understand a 2 part question. Then I was told that wait times were 37 minutes to talk to a live person who could answer my question in 10 seconds. I used to be proud to say I was from Oregon, but now it doesn't matter because Oregon has decided to partner with the same greedy corporations who run this DMV access as every other state instead of keeping jobs and money local. Will anyone who cares ever read this? Chances are 1 in a billion.
