    Discovered unexpectedly that my license had expired and I needed to renew my license asap. Decided…read moreto secure an enhanced driver license or Real ID. Every day at 8:20 AM the Redmond location releases same day appointments, I was lucky enough to get one of those. FYI every Friday at 4 PM they release appointments for the following week. Otherwise you're looking at booking out a month in advance. I was able to register and secure an appointment very quickly online -- although I will say that the website did not have EDL as one of its first options, which I think it should give the importance of that license now. I had to use the search bar to find it and only then did it pull up. It was confusing trying to make an appointment for a renewal but it wasn't just a renewal I was looking for. What was very helpful was the updating texts that reminded me of the appointment time and gave me the option to check in online. The helpful staff at the registration information desk confirmed my check-in. The waiting area was spacious with many chairs, and there were 19 kiosks which meant very speedy processing. I didn't wait more than five minutes however I had to step out of the waiting area for a moment and it was during that time that my number was called. The saving grace was the smart technology was that sent me a text informing me that my number had been called. Nathan Diamond assisted me. I had my previous drivers license which was then canceled out, my W-2 has proof of address and my photo was taken. I was given a temporary license that would function for 45 days but I could expect my license to arrive in the next 30 days. Organ donation was confirmed and I was given the option of putting my blood type if I had written proof of it, which I wish I had known in advance. I did not however have such a document with me so I was not able to put it on my card but I was told I could update anytime. I chose the eight year option which was about $144 out the door after all fees, etc. The five minutes or so with Mr. Diamond was really educational. I think I was out in 15 minutes total. The parking lot out front was free parking so no stress about parking. The staff was helpful so asked for their names. The two people at registration were informative and helpful as well.

    Compared to California, this place is pretty organized and efficient. You don't have to wait long…read morehours. The facilities are clean probably bc it just opened. The front staff administrator checking people in was efficient but unfriendly. I asked her a question and she gave me a blank stare. She probably has a lot of people asking her questions all day so whatever. Glad Washington state has it together.

    I had to pay a visit to the licensing service to obtain the enhanced ID (aka Real ID) for domestic…read moretraveling. I strongly recommend everyone to make an appointment way ahead of time because it will save you so much time! My appointment was at 3:30pm. Arrived at 3:15pm for a ticket. What I noticed was that, people who came after me but had an appointment prior mine still get the priority. My number was called at 3:28pm and got my visit wrapped by 3:35pm. A week prior, I tried to walk in hoping to get an appointment. But the staff told me it will take me at least an hour to 1.5 hours wait. So I ended up leaving and stuck with my originally scheduled appointment.

    There is a brain-dead atmosphere in the narrow office as customers with licensing issues shuffle…read morevery slowly in line. The clerks all seem to be 'trainees" with limited authority. The manager, aware that lines are long, hides in her office to avoid having to deal with problems. She should step up the the counter and help. Why? This is a private business which gets its significance from the State of Washington. They are the only game in town. They seem to use this fact to guide their business strategy. Clearly, it is an enterprise with little reward and a lot of irksome problems that come with waiting on the a public that is lazy, ill-informed and impatient. Like me. This company has no incentive to 'get better', preferring to hide behind the skirts of the Department of Licensing in Olympia. In a small way, I feel sorry for the people who work here-- The fact that they are designated 'trainee' suggests they have not been there very long (or that the manager/owner uses that title to avoid paying a higher wage. )

Check in is easy and pleasant. The person greeting you (host?) is knowledgeable about the processes, quick to answer questions, and seems to have the needed info available without any issues. While I have walked in when they're busy, they are excellent at warning you that if you don't have time to wait, you may want to swing by on a less busy day. I was VERY grateful for this info the last time I was in, adding my motorcycle endorsement to my license. It wasn't an urgent matter and their computers had been down off and on all morning, causing a bit slow-down. This isn't something they can control, but they took responsibility by warning folks that the wait times on the screen weren't terribly accurate and that the system can go down again and cause a freeze at any time. I chose to come back another day! I did come back, and this last Friday morning, I was in and out in less than 25 minutes!! Big thanks to the staff here that seems really great at their jobs, well-trained, and eager to help. None of the dismissive attitude that seems to be the stereotypical behavior of this type of worker.
