Terrible! Line jumping, clerks that don't pay attention, long tedious process. Just Awful.

Nobody likes going to the license bureau just because of the hassle the waiting in line the…read morewondering if you got everything that they're looking for and expecting in order to give you a drivers license or renewal plates or whatever I recently relocated from the West Coast and had a very bad experience at the license bureau down in Franklin so when I was in the process of getting my Washington drivers license converted to an Ohio drivers license, I made sure all my subsequent visit that I did not return to the Franklin office because the people that work there Were very unfriendly not knowledgeable. Gave me incorrect information. It was a completely different experience at the Centerville location as the people that work. There were extremely friendly very fast, very efficient and very accurate with the information on what I needed and got me through the process really quickly and painlessly. Absolute definite five star service

I am writing to share feedback regarding a recent interaction at your facility(CENTERVILLE BMV) My…read moreson was in the process of applying for his Temporary Permit, and we encountered a staff member whose conduct I found to be unprofessional and unhelpful. During the identification verification, we presented his USCIS-approved ID. This is currently in use while his Naturalization Certificate is being processed - a situation that often requires a bit more understanding and patience. When a second form of identification was requested, we offered a recent bank statement. Unfortunately, our attempt to have this document printed is (on their printer as she instructed)at the counter was unsuccessful. The staff member, a young lady with curly hair( her ID was flip-back),then informed us that my son would need to retrieve another address-bearing ID from home. While we fully comprehend and respect the need for proper identification, the manner in which this information was conveyed was notably abrupt and dismissive, creating an unnecessarily stressful atmosphere. Further concerns arose when my son attempted to clarify his preference regarding the organ donor question on his application. His initial query was met with an apparent lack of acknowledgment. When I politely reiterated his question, the staff member responded curtly with, "Let me just finish this!" This interaction, delivered without eye contact, felt very dismissive and demonstrated a clear unwillingness to assist with a simple, yet important, clarification. Adding to our disappointment, when I tried to ask a follow-up question concerning the identification requirements, I was interrupted mid-sentence. This repeated pattern of being cut off and disregarded made effective communication extremely difficult. It is particularly disheartening as this is not an isolated incident; we experienced similar rude and interruptive behavior from the same individual during a previous visit in May. The overall lack of courtesy and professional engagement displayed by this staff member was deeply disappointing. We believe that all individuals undertaking official processes deserve to be treated with respect and patience. I hope this detailed feedback will be utilized to review staff conduct and reinforce the importance of professional customer service, ensuring that future applicants have a more positive and respectful experience.

I know, who really enjoys going the the BMV. Well I have been here and other locations more than I…read morecare to say for someone that doesn't own a car dealership or work at one. I average 8-10 cars/trucks/motorcycles a year in and out of my driveway. The title side here is amazing, in and out quick, and they are always very helpful. The BMV is amazing customer service considering people have been waiting in line for 30 plus minutes and tend to be grumpy. I have never been treated badly or even given anything other than exemplary customer service. If you do need to come here and get both title and tags, make sure to get a number before going in to get your title done. You will save yourself 10 minutes easily. I have nothing but good things to say about this location. I have been to others that are much longer lines and at least here you can look out and see the cars driving by.

As a new resident, this location was not a good impression of Ohio. When we arrived here, the line…read morewas out the door and it moved very slowly to just register and get a number. After getting a number, we had a long wait time to get a simple vehicle inspection - which was also a joke. The employee literally walked around the vehicle, wrote down the VIN number and the mileage. For this we waited about 1.5 hours. The communication of the employees wasn't clear and I left there just as confused as when I walked in. Overall a total waste of time! The next morning we went to the location in Lebanon and it was a totally different experience!
