Based on the lack of correct information on the online post, we drove there twice! Still need to go back! Sign on door suggests DMV Newport News! No way us seniors are driving that far! the local JCC DMV in Toano should have its' services expanded to a full service location.

Another update: Somehow my car ended up being reported as sold even though I never sold it. Luckily…read moreit was caught before it became a bigger issue, but it's still pretty concerning. Had it not been caught, I could have been driving around with an invalid registration and not even know it until I got pulled over. I had to write a handwritten note stating that I did not sell my car in order to get it corrected. Now I find myself checking my registration from time to time just to make sure everything is still valid. That's not something anyone should have to worry about. Looking back, this just adds to the concerns I already had after my experience with the employee I mentioned in my original review. I didn't make an issue because i wanted to be done with it all but it was quite concerning.

Can I just say how happy I am I came to do my test at this DMV over the busy, understaffed Norfolk…read morebranch!? The staff in here are so lovely and helpful. Don't get me wrong, this DMV is teeny in comparison to others nearby, but come early and you can get everything done quickly. Considering when I walked in at 10am this place was heaving and there wasn't a spare seat, I was seen to within 10 minutes of walking through the door, had my documentation uploaded onto the system, had my picture taken, and within the hour I'd taken my theory test and was on my way to getting the road test. I chose Smithfield as the area is a lot more relaxed (and quieter) then taking the road test in town, but also because the customer service experience was far more superior. All desks were occupied, people were seen to in a timely manner, the flow was smooth and people weren't waiting all day for walk ins. I highly recommend this DMV, whether it's to take your theory / road tests, updating your license or documentation, even coming in for a copy of your birth certificate or to sign up for TSA Pre-check, it's worth driving the extra miles than waiting all day. Time is money!

If they do not know the answer, or they can not help because they only offer certain services, they will point me and/or other customers in the right direction. Recently we were there and we were in and out in minutes. All we had to do is switch plates around after buying a new car. The service was great. The clerk was so nice, helpful and knowledgeable on the service we needed. The parking lot is large, and shared with many other businesses. Once inside the DMV select office is to the right down a hall on the first floor.

We waited in our cars and then realized it was 1pm; and went in. We were very polite and after I waited 6-10 min once inside the trailer; I was beckoned and loudly asked: "what's your name!" I told her and in the small office everyone obviously heard. Then I got the 'third degree': You're not on this list, you don't have an appointment, etc ...,,,,,,,,,Then she loudly ordered me (and I served in the US Navy) to just take a picture on the door of our website! After that ordeal; I explained how I just made an appointment to correct the error DMV had made for GARAGE JURISDICTION; how I was told by the Commissioner of Revenue of Rappahannock Area via emails (professional and polite)to make appointment and visit KG DMV which I did; how I was a teacher and had today off only, my return move back to VA from another state, etc., etc, THEN!: SHE FORCEFULLY handed a paper to me. I asked where does it show jurisdiction and she just blatantly looked at me with a grim face and pointed to the bottom of my corrected registration. I looked and found it, then quickly ran from those evil people! *Not one employee got up to check over our names on the list where we wrote our names while we waited in our cars as told! I wanted to tell the DMV ladies in that trailer office: "I really am a human being and an adult. I don't mean to bother you and get my paperwork in order so that I am not taxed by the wrong jurisdiction and that KG DMV gets their personal property taxes and that I'm not fined hundreds upon hundreds of dollars$$$ for an error DMV made- PLEASE HELP ME the taxpayer???!!!!"

Everything was good this visit, especially the security guard and the rep who helped us. My young daughters were in need of photo IDs. Our initial wait (this Friday mid morning) was very brief, about five minutes. We were helped by Jamila Harris. Instantly the customer service was top notch. She was sweet to my girls, friendly and knowledgeable to me. There was an unforeseeable snag that came up w my daughter's documents, which Ms. Harris worked to resolve. She kept us informed of the progress as it unfolded. I'm really glad we finally have a DMV in Ashland and I'm sure to return here for future needs.

Cost her $45 and she got a receipt. My sister said it should of cost me $10.00! I called 804-497-7100, surprisingly to VM said I had a 30 min wait, but someone answered right away! I was shocked but thankful!!! I asked why I paid $30.00 and she said I paid $20.00 for reissue fee and $10.00 for real ID. She told me I could have renewed my license right then!! WHAT? Now I have to got back and do the waiting time all over again and pay a extra $35.00 ROBBERY!! Let me mention, I am a white female 64 years old. Now supposedly a supervisor will be calling because I want to put a complaint in. Think anyone will be calling me??? Cherry on top....Woman on phone was not very nice. I will leave it at that.

They kept thanking me for my patience but they were the patient ones, having to deal with whatever tricky system issues they ran into. Props to them all! Automated check in for online appointments is very easy--you get a text reminder of your appointment when you make it online, you reply to that number with "check in" 15 minutes before your appointment, it texts you back with a ticket number, then you sit and wait til your ticket number comes up. The waiting area got quite cold as they had an industrial a/c running, so wear layers in summer/extreme heat times. The only recommendation I have is that it would be great to have some instructions posted next to the machine that you put your face/eyes on to take your eye test, both for how to do the test/use the machine and to sanitize it after each use. If the person instructing you isn't speaking loudly, it's hard to hear what you're supposed to do.
