WOW — who would think the DMV would be a stress free experience. Having lived in NJ, CO, and AZ, it seems to only get better moving west. I needed to get a registration and plates. I waited not more than 10 minutes before getting call up and showing my identification. The DMV also verifies the VIN number, but I did have to come back with my emissions test. All in all, the whole experience took no more than 1 hour between my two visits. Staff was really attentive and friendly (something not typical for most DMVs).

As far as DMVs go, this place is at the top of the list. You can make appointments? They’re open until 7? The people behind the counter don’t seem like they have a dull knife to their wrists while they help you contemplating whether or not you’re the last face they see before they take their own lives? Is this still even a government run organization? Whoever runs this place should tell Comcast how to run their locations, because I never thought I’d say this, but this experience wasn’t all bad. I got in and out, and the employees were helpful. Thanks. I even printed out all my forms already filled out so all I had to do was walk them in and hand them to a clerk with my identification. I guess one of the reasons I’m so please is because my expectations were so low. So that helps.

Yep, it’s the DMV, what more would you want me to say. Plan on spending 1 – 2 hours in this place.

To save time you should probably download the forms first and fill them out at home instead of doing them when you enter the building. That will help streamline the process for you
If you go in the middle of the month, middle of the week and middle of the day you will have low stress.

This place is a dream. No one is here so it takes five minutes for your number to be called. Also, the most amazing and hysterical thing I’ve encountered occurred at this dmv but will be encountered at any of Utah’s dmvs. The test, it’s open book. I’m not entirely certain how this isn’t something that makes everyone laugh but really people? Anyways someone failed next to me which also made me laugh even though she was in tears presumably because she failed an open book 25 question test that’s untimed. Best dmv ever

Had to get my new stickers and was very appreciative of the fast and friendly service. This is definitely not the dmv of the past. Great job!

«Well I never», you say ’”a four star review for the DMV? Good golly Miss Molly, I’m quite aghast”. But yes folks, it’s true.
I must say it surprised me too. It’s hard to say I’m a real regular visitor to the DMV, I mean really who is other than to get your license renewed or in this case to get my car title free and clear now it’s paid off (yay).
The other surprise is the odd but weirdly elegant way people speak when making their initial exclamations about my reviews — but that’s not important right now.
What is important, is the fact that this particular DMV location blows away any of your regular DMV stereotypes. It’s modern, it’s fast, it’s spacious, it’s clean and the service is really friendly. What more could anyone really want? Despite it being busy, I was in, given a number, called to one of the many different counters (there must be a good 20+ here), processed and back out the door in literally 20 minutes. They told me my new title would be mailed and arrive within a week. 4 business days later there it was in the mail.
