The automated answering system is not good and cannot handle all functions.
Terrible public service. Rude employees, must wait 20+ days to be helped.
Bonnie was very helpful, courteous, efficient and professional. We appreciated her help on our visit of 7/1/2025.
Where to begin? Getting my license renewed took FOUR visits, after receiving 'renew by mail' documents. I filled out, included a money order and returned all the requested info, and never heard anything back. I go to the web portal, create a profile to renew online, only for the website to scream 'you are not eligible to renew online or by mail. This is AFTER I was sent 'renew by mail' packet.
I go in person, was officiously told YOU NEED A BIRTH CERTIFICATE, and YOU NEED AN APPOINTMENT.
So after finding a birth certificate, making another appointment, and showing up, I attempted to renew my license. I was asked to read off a non-standard 'eye chart' taped to the wall and was told that they could not renew my license, because I now apparently needed some sort of document endorsed by an eye MD.
So once again , I get my retinologist to fill out the form, and make yet another appointment. Finally, on this attempt, the DMV gods granted my request for a renewed license. IF I could rate negative stars I would.
