    Why have plates....I drive prius and I never get pulled over for anything!
    Chris M.

    I wish I could give zero stars. Negative stars would be funny. I have been to sterling...line out the door before the place opens. If you are far enough back in the line after waiting for 3 hours, the guard says you can't come in....yeah. I'm not sure where to start.....it's all so horrific. In think a colonoscopy might be more fun. Maybe a root canal without novocaine... I booked an appointment a month ago. The only "available" time was today (Friday 6-26) at 3:15 pm. On my calendar, in the day planner....I wasn't going to miss this. I took the day off from work because the last time I had to go through this S it took 6 hours. I was planning to be in the car at 2, thinking there's some type of accident, protest, road closure, stupid useless construction making me go through south Florida to get to Leesburg. Not bad, I was there just before three. I stopped to get gas. The security people were nice, asked a few questions and I was inside. The people hanging around outside WITHOUT MASKS were a nice touch since 'appointment only' was on about 500 signs. Go home people and book an appointment for 2 months from now. Out of state like Florida, Texas, California, Maryland, Maryland, Florida, Texas or North Carolina don't bother, it's only Virginia residents/taxpayers/suckers who get screwed for stickers that expire. Out of state, expect the key to the city. Why would VSP pull you over when they can come after a taxpayer/job holder that's local? Regardless, I'm inside and talking to the information desk through a sheet of plastic. I had to explain why I was there ....maybe three times. Finally I'm assigned a chair and a number with a form to fill out. Typical DMV, 13 stations and 4 open. It was like that in 1997. Nothing changes with these clowns. "we're the DMV and we KNOW you need something from us so expect to be treated like S and eventually we will get to you". I watch the guy before me...she took his picture maybe 10 times. Maybe they are casting for tv or something. 40 minutes after I sit down, the teller looks at me. No smile, just sort of looks my way. I get up and "what can I do for you?". I say licence renewal. She walks away....to talk to another teller who comes over to ask about my SSN. "Has it changed"?" OK, I'm not sure how you can do this but I answer and the snippy starts. The second teller walks away and the one "helping" me glares at me like I'm robbing the place. She is typing in the computer and it's back and forth (I guess) to get approval for something on the screen. The people helping the woman helping me for the most part are pleasant. Finally , it's picture time....woohoo...making progress. The first pic apparently didn't take. Second one, same. Next we switch to the station to my left, the camera was turned on this time, the picture (I guess, I never saw it) took and I pay the $42. More glare from the teller, as I paid in cash. Royally disgusted with me at this point, stamp....stamp....and I m out the door. I will be moving away in a few weeks, but I know what happens the day my licence expires...."licence, registration and insurance please". I wish I could say avoid these people but don't register your car here. Out of state has the luxury of paying no taxes, no stupid stickers for the plate, no windshield stickers, no ass rape inspections where something is always wrong. Simple. Keep the plates from Jersey, Florida, Maryland, California....wherever...shoot don't bother with plates at all. In state gets pulled over, out of state gets a free pass. Literally and figuratively.

    This DMV is very New. Everyone is very professional and will go out of there way to please you. The best experience I ever had at any DMV and let me mention on 08/29/2023 in the morning around 10: 00 to 11 am the the Lady in Booth # 4 she is the smartest and bringhtes DMV employee l've ever seen,l had three separate DMV related issues and she was Flawless in solving all three l mean she was relentless and determined in her efforts, sorry I didn't get name maybe someone can research the date and time and find out who she is, because of her professionalism l will recommend this location to everyone that's looking for a great DMV experience

    Waoo DMV Lessburg.This is a hidden gem! it's a small DMV office with limited services, but there are no crowds no waits ( well, not long one's) , ND staff is absolutely friendly and pleasent . Very efficient, keep this place under control

    Horrible and unprofessional experience. The hours displayed on Google maps is 8AM - 5PM for Thursday through Saturday. I walk in at 11:59 AM on a Saturday and I immediately was treated horribly and unprofessional because apparently they actually close at noon on Saturdays. The employees were making comments "sorry guys she walked in 1 minute before closing time" and preceded to rush me around and were displaying and projecting their frustration onto me, even though I was unaware they indeed closed at noon based on the hours of operation that were displayed on Google maps. I informed them that the hours were displayed wrong on Google maps and they responded with "no it's not, you must be mistaken" and "well did you check our website, that's only Google maps". I then questioned them and said "so you expect people to double check Google maps by going to your website?" I ultimately was unable to get the services I came to the DMV for because of their refusal to help me. A horrible, unprofessional, and unacceptable experience. Do not go to the DMV in Leesburg, VA.

    The fastest DMV I've ever gone through. On multiple occasions with or without an appointment, I'm…read moreusually in and out. When I checked in for my appointment, they were paging my number immediately. Customer service varies from super hospitable to just okay, but 5 stars for speed. Who enjoys waiting at the DMV??

    I try to avoid DMV when possible and do anything/everything online. Unfortunately, I need to go in…read moreperson, and normally it can be a headache, with long waits and limited parking. I've had bad enough experiences at other locations to want to continue coming here. They do have the EZ Pass located here, where you can sign up, pickup transponders, even get extra stickies. For my 2 visits, I had fairly good experiences. As soon as the guard opens the door, he directs everyone to form a single line, which ultimately splits into Appointment/Non-appointment. I would highly suggest booking appointments online if possible, which are usually for the common DMV activities. Anything like getting the handicap sign, sunshade, etc. doesn't have appointment options. Walk-in is first-come-first-serve when front desk clerk assigns an alpha-numeric number. The rest of the wait time is dependent on when they call your number. There are multiple TVs that display the current and corresponding window, as well as previous numbers/window. The longest wait time I've had here is 30 minutes, which is pretty good to me!
