    I know you need to make appointments here in Idaho for other things than plates but it goes really fast and people are really nice

    Quick, and easy to change the title and get a VIN inspection! It was Friday close to 5 and they knocked it out.

    Geez I thought the DMV in California was but damn. They're so complicated here, rude, crazy cut off times.

    Very efficient but show up early. Lots of people have business to conduct. I got there 30 min early and that was perfect!

Service is excellent and quick by a DMV standards. Allie has helped me multiple times and always does everything she can to help me figure out what's going on. Today she even gave me contact information for 2 other contact points at the state to help solve my problem because she couldn't. Above and beyond!

I went to the Ada County DMV Meridian Branch to register my out-of-state vehicle, and I was in and out in under 20 minutes! The staff were efficient, professional, and courteous. The office was organized, and the entire process felt smooth and stress-free. On top of that, their fees were noticeably better than what I was used to paying in California. Important for new Idaho residents: This office only handles vehicle registration, including out-of-state vehicle registrations. If you're new to Idaho and need to register your car, this is the place to go. This office does not handle driver licenses or ID cards. For those services, you need to visit: Ada County Driver License Services, 736 S Progress Ave, Meridian, ID 83642 Highly recommend this branch for all your registration needs. It's a great example of how efficient public service can be.

    This location is pretty much your typical DMV. Clerical drones working a tiring, repetitive,…read morethankless job and probably for short money. So considering the dreary days these folks have to endure I'm inclined to give a high rating just for showing up to work every day. I was stunned at how many people they process every hour. There is a smaller, "express" DMV just a mile or so away. Almost every client I saw was very young so don't know what's going on in Boise. Their processes are highly automated and reasonably efficient. They get you in and out fairly quickly and with a minimum of fuss. The staff are clearly not happy people but I'd chalk that up more to their environment than anything else. Once they punch out and hit the bar with friends they could well be the life of the party. The Ada County Sheriff has done a very good job building an efficient operation so kudos and five starts for that.

Josh was kind, informative and patient with me. His knowledge of the regulations and rules of the State of Idaho was very helpful. I can't express enough how he helped my time at the DMV to go smoothly and quickly. Thanks Josh for a good experience at the DMV

    We visited the Ada County Driver License Services office to get our driver licenses and ID cards…read moreafter relocating from California -- and we were genuinely impressed. The staff was extremely friendly, respectful, and helpful throughout the entire process. Everything was well-organized and moved faster than we expected. Important note for those moving from out of state (especially California): This office only helps with driver licenses and ID cards. They do not process vehicle registrations. For that, you'll need to go to: Ada County DMV Meridian Branch, 1769 N Lakes Pl #100, Meridian, ID 83646 Also, if you're moving from California (and possibly other states), be aware that you must take a written knowledge test on the computer, even if you've been driving for decades with a clean record. No behind-the-wheel test is required, but the written test is mandatory. So be prepared and study beforehand! Overall, this office made what could have been a stressful task feel simple and welcoming. A big thanks to the team for making our transition to Idaho so smooth.

    I made an appointment to get my wife and I new drivers licenses. When we checked in and met with…read morethe counter employee, we were told that he would only help one person because the appointment is for one person only. So now I have to book another appointment and the soonest one is a month out. Absolutely ridiculous how rigid the employees are.
