Waited 2 hours to get a real ID. No luck. Lines are too long. tRump is cutting staff and causing this.

My license expired a couple of weeks ago, and I have not been able to schedule an appointment to renew them until May. I have repeatedly called the Oakland Tn DMV to no avail. No one will answer the phone out there. this is totally ridiculous

I scheduled an appointment for January 17. I got a confirmation number confirming the appointment. I went on the day of the appointment and they were closed. Very frustrating. Your system needs to be better about not accepting appointments if you’re closed.

I was able to make an appointment online for today over a month ago. Even though it as a holiday, I received a confirmation number and confirmation email confirming my appointment. I go today for my appointment, and it was closed. It could have said that and not let me make an appointment if that was the case. Very frustrating. The system needs to be better. So don't always believe you have an appointment even if you think you do.
