This place is not so bad...for a DMV. I went in to get a new license, and I wasn't quite prepared for what this would entail. The Building- This building is run down. I'm not sure when it was updated, but I'm thinking 1980 something. It's dated, looks dirty, and is in a strip mall where some ladies were looking for customers to take to the motel across the street. The Process-I can tell you that there are people with appointments, who are in and out in 15 min or less. For the rest, it could take a while. Not an extremely long time, but they speed up dramatically when it's closing time. The Employees- Yes, it's obvious some hate their jobs. Most are friendly and courteous, a few were curt and in my opinion, need a hug, a role model, or someone to tell them things are going to be ok. The Customers- Wow. This place has a rough crowd. There is a sign to let you know you will be removed for being loud or violent. This is a bring a book, dont make too much eye contact kind of place. For those in the know, it's prison rules in here. It was a pretty good experience, but the tension in here could be cut with a knife. Good luck, and remember you can renew online before your license expires, and skip this whole experience.

I went got my emissions stop at King's Soopers people in rush so I wàlk in this( beautiful young…read morelady Shaniquah) I asked if some one could help me with the machine and she stop what she was doing walked down to kiosk and helped me I was back home before 10:15 am I always have the best experience at this location and it's all about the positive attitude and a smile go in angry it only brings but negativity and positive attitude and a smile people go above and beyond and she did just that and I like to tell her thank you she had a nice smile and nice personality and like I said I always have nothing but positivity when I come into this location

Came February 17th at 1pm. Not one customer in the whole building, only workers. No one sitting in…read morethe many chairs waiting for services. 3 different people including myself were turned away even tho agents behind the desk were unoccupied, and we all were told to make an appointment online. I was out of town and my paper plates expired, could not locate any of the words "expired temporary/paper plates expired/renewal" online via the website, so I walked in to be helped. The lady at the front desk helped me find the correct area online and the next available appointment is March 2ed...13 days away. You use be able to sacrifice 2 to 3 hours waiting in line and get everything done that you needed to get done at this DMV, now instead of 2-3 hours it's a week to 2 week wait. How is this an improvement with the mandatory online scheduling versus walk in appointments? Edited for spelling

The Legislature now allows the DMV to keep their fees and has moved them to a more reliable funding…read moremechanism, but the organization remains chronically underfunded. You should talk to your State legislators if you think they need more resources. The DMV has made a huge effort to upgrade to a modern computing platform. The system went live on February 16, 2026 and not only streamlines the workflow at DMV offices, it also offers the new myDMV portal which can be used to manage personal information, receive electronic notices, renew your driver's license, pre-register for a license/permit/ID, check status, renew registration, schedule appointments, and other routine services. There's also a new MVExpress service, 70 automated kiosks scattered around the State, generally at DMV offices or grocery stores. Most online transactions can also be performed at the kiosks. The hope is that many basic transactions will be done online or at a kiosk, freeing up the DMV staff to handle the more complex issues. I had a title transfer, so I went to the DMV office in person. The only DMV entrance at this location is the door off the parking lot in the rear of the building. Three people are allowed inside at one time to line up at the check-in desk. A friendly staffer quickly reviewed my issue and assigned me a number via a text to my cell phone. I was to leave the building once I was in the queue. You can return once you reach fifth place in the electronic line. There's a link in the initial text to a real-time app that shows your exact place in the queue. This works very well. You can leave and go about your business. Just return when you're approaching the end of the line. I arrived at 9:40 a.m. on a Thursday. It took me eight minutes to check-in. There were five people ahead of me and the line moved fairly quickly. The staffer thought it would be two hours until my number came up; it actually took three hours, but I was able to deal with my day while watching the countdown on the app. I returned to the office when I got to eighth on the queue, sat outside for a bit, then was allowed to go to the waiting room when I hit fifth. It took 30 minutes in all to be called to a window from eighth place and I spent 15 minutes with the staffer. Seating outside the building is very limited, two concrete benches on the front of the building facing Tremont Place. The staff suggests sitting in your car if you need to wait, but this can be uncomfortable on a warm day. Some additional, shaded seating would be a nice addition. There are a number of coffee shops and restaurants within the immediate area. Everything ran pretty smoothly. I think this system is about as effective as the DMV can be, given their personnel limitations. Two out of ten windows were operating when I made it to the waiting room, then a third opened after awhile. All of the staffers seemed friendly and willing to help. The crowd of customers was patient and polite. It is really helpful to see the queue and to know your exact status.

Prepare to waste an entire day waiting for your turn…read more Arrive at 10, line to check in 30 minutes. Get ticket and told to come back at 12pm. Arrive at 12pm. 2 tellers open. A solid hour wait. Got a text at 1:11 with a message to come into building my number will be called shortly. 1:30 pm finally my turn per the text message, but i was already gone. I had another appointment that i could not miss. Incredible waste of time. Horrible system. This is government failure. I'll be writing my legislators because im not sure where else to voice this complaint about a systemic issue.
