This is going to sound weird, but this was, by far, the most pleasant time I've ever had renewing…read moremy CT driver's license. I found out that the AAA offices in Fairfield and New Haven Counties no longer offer the service, so I was DREADING the long lines at the local DMV. Luckily, I stumbled upon DMV Express in Milford. It's part of Nutmeg Credit Union. Wow! I was greeted pleasantly upon entering and shown a computer kiosk where I signed in and paid the $8 "convenience fee." (I like to think of it as the "Well, this doesn't suck" fee.) That's waived for members of the credit union. I only had to wait 5 minutes, which is amazing, since the regular DMVs were all closed, this being a Monday. I was waited on by another very nice person who took care of the paperwork and photo and gave me a temporary license. (CT now sends permanent licenses out from a secure location, so they can take up to 20 days. The temp one is good for 30 days.) The location is convenient, with plenty of parking and the inside is bright, clean and cheerful with plenty of comfortable seating. It's really nice to know that the next time I need to renew my license, I don't have to enter DMV Hell to do it.

There is a public parking garage across the street if you can't find street parking. We were warmly greeted and asked to sign in. They took my ID and insurance to copy. I filled out one other form. We waited less than ten minutes. We enjoyed the music played and all the lovely Christmas decorations. We were offered cookies as we waited. What a sweet group of people! Mario assisted us through the entire process. He needed to change my address within the system. I signed another form and we got our plates same day. Mario explained everything and took the time to laugh with us as we both have older vehicles. Thank you for your professionalism and guidance, Mario, and the team at MRS! For the convenience of a walk-in location and the experience of a highly trained team, I highly recommend visiting Mobile registration services if you need to register a car.

I went to register my 2000 Toyota this past week. We were in and out in 20 mins. I would have done 5 stars. The downfall I had is they don't do classic plates. So now I still have to make a DMV appointment to change over to classic plates due to the car is 26 years old.

My appointment was at 10:15am and I started around 10:40am, so the wait wasn't bad. My instructor was great and made me feel comfortable. The Hamden roads are spacious and the area was calm, which made the test less stressful. I didn't have to parallel park, just reverse parking, a K-turn, turns, following directions, and regular driving. Overall, a very smooth experience and I passed! Definitely recommend Hamden for your road test.
