I was very pleased with making my appointment in advance. That's how I'll do it from now on. My wait was no longer then 10 minutes before I was called to a window.

For the most part, employees were polite. There is only one person checking in customers. There were 20 to 30 people in line with more coming in. I stood in line close to 1 1/2 hours. Finally got checked in and waited another hour plus while sitting. I think several employees went to lunch so only 4 of the 14 windows were staffed. I tried to make an appointment on line. However, I could not get one before my license expired. Still would have had to stand for 90 min. in line. One person check in!!

made an appointment for janaf Dmv in norfolk for real id.all I had to do was check in on my phone.per my info on my paperwork.Signed in got a number waited my turn.The lady behind the counter was so rude.Asked me was I privileged to be able to go ahead of all these people already sitting here waiting on their real id.I was just doing what my paperwork and phone told me to do.all my paperwork was filled out on line.and I also had a copy with me.which said all I do is do a self check in get a number and sit till your number is called.exactly what I did.why do they all have such bad attitudes at this location.My son went 2 days before me for the same thing .and they took him with no problem.She told me I needed to go get in line.I told her what my phone and email told me to do and she didnt care one bit.so I left without my real id.This dmv really needs some adjustments towards customer service at this location..and not once did I get out of line with her.But she remained rude.and angry saying I jumped ahead of everyone else.I had 3 o clock appointment.It was 3:45 and I was still waiting without a problem.My number was called that they sent me on my phone.and thats when her attitude came in.
