It is a cruel scenario that every year for my birthday month my car tag expires. I should be…read morecelebrating and opening presents and trying not to feel so old. But instead I am reminded that I need to either go online or in person to renew my tag. Because there was a change of mailing address, I did not receive my renewal notice in the mail so I knew a trip to Peach Orchard road was a coming. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I walked in and an electronic screen asked my purpose for being there. I pressed the appropriate button and my paper ticket popped out. I sat down and listened for the next number. It was 10 in front of mind. I was not hopeful. As I sat there, I soon observed an employee whose job it appears is to answer questions and help people make the right selection when checking in. That is thoughtful. But I still anticipated a long wait. I began catching up on the local news when all of a sudden numbers were being called out over the intercom. Sometimes two at a time. In less than 20 minutes, I was seated across from someone telling her I needed to renew my tag. In less than 5 minutes I had not only renewed my tag, but updated my mailing information and phone number. Talk about efficient. I left impressed. If you live in Richmond County, this is the place to go. Trust me. *Insider's Tip -They will ask for an acceptable ID (driver's license, etc) so be sure to have it on hand.

She was cheerful and courteous and rapidly processed my documents for vehicle registration. I have never had such good customer service at a County office. Usually you dread going to these places, but not here. Friendly courteous and competent! Totally refreshing...

Georgia has a fair number of online services. They do require you to present hard copy documents to…read moreget a new license, of course. There was an option to fill out an application online, so my question having done that was if I brought in all the documents they asked for (with a few extras on hand just in case), would everything go smoothly? And it did. I was subject to an initial greeting where my purpose for being there was verified and I took a number and got in line. In the middle of the afternoon, it was less than ten minutes before I was seen. Presenting my stuff, doing a couple of quick tests, and paying a pretty reasonable fee, I was out of there in probably less than half an hour total. Now, some people have more complicated situations, and some people clearly don't check out all the online resources before coming, but at least from my perspective it was a pretty smooth experience and the people working there seemed like they knew what they were doing.

The parking lot looks to be used for truck driving testing when I was there. --Ambience-- Typical 60s office vibe with plenty of chairs in the center of the wait area. --Service/Staff-- Staff was friendly in helping with all your DMV services --Food/Products-- Varies depending on if you have your paperwork ready. --Capacity-- Can hold over 30 plus people, but be warned if you are coming in during lunch time. --Overall-- One of the hidden locations in South Carolina which gets you in and out quickly, but avoid the lunch time crowd.

DMV in Ballentine SC, between Chapin and Irmo…read more I have found this location to generally be able to get in and out with not too long of a wait. Upon entry you speak to person in booth that issues a paper ticket number like a deli. The numbers are different based on what service you say have come for. There is a large seated waiting area where you fill out form given with provided clipboard/pens lined on wall. Numbers are announced over loud speaker and displayed on TV screens throughout listing up to 6 numbers. There are around 6-7 active counter windows distributing the service varieties. I find the wait during weekday mornings to be between 15-20 minutes before get to a window. I would not count on short wait times in afternoon close to end of day as I've witnessed the line out the door just to get the paper ticket. The employees at windows are jovial as can be considering it is the DMV, I have not had a bad experience. One negative beside occasional long waits is sometimes they will direct you to stand and wait. I do not think the ticket system has always been used here but the implementation has been a big plus.

Then we found out we had to pay at a completely different location... What a complete waste of time. You should be able to do it all under one roof . But no, apparently I needed to be driving around in the pouring rain, standing in endless lines only to be told I could register my car and get my plates but needed to drive another 40 minutes to pay at a different location. Yeah, I'm done. This can wait til next week. People are already stressed standing in line , forced to go to two different places to register vehicles isn't remotely efficient, sorry. Drove 40 minutes to pay the taxes on the cars but my husband didn't have his title so we have to wait for that now. What a mess. They don't make it easy ...Then I find out the crazy tax initially on your car, you have to pay yearly. I initially thought living in SC would be cheaper because Florida has outrageous property taxes, car insurance and home owners insurance. But we pay no state income tax, no tax on vehicles yearly .Also the utilities vendors charge outrageous rates in SC. . I'm starting to think this will be a wash, as they always find a way to get your money no matter where you live.
