Impressive organization and efficiency, only if all other government offices can be like this one…read more For passport renewal, if you qualify for the "simplified" process and can type / fill out the application form in advance, you can literally walk in and out of there in a few minutes. First you are directed to the Courtesy Desk, the staff go over your pre-filled form and existing passport, if all checks out you are given a number and sent back to the waiting area. The waiting time obviously depend on how many people are applying on the day, but the line for those with pre-filled forms moves much faster; you go up when it's your turn, answer the questions if there is any, pay the fee and you are done and out.

And if I'm standing there trying to explain a problem or phrase a question, they patiently explain which city office I need to go to and how to get there. They seem to be unflappable. Last fall I showed up one day at five minutes before closing to register a cat (yes, we gotta do that in B'ham!) - and there's some official paperwork and payment involved - yet no one rolled their eyes, sighed with irritation or looked at the clock and then glowered at me with disdain. Nope. This clerk was happy to serve a citizen. So it was after closing time by the time I was checking out at the city cashier across the hall, and the cashier was all smiles as well. After 5:00 p.m. and on a rainy day at that! They even wrote Calvin's name on the envelope containing his registration tag - and drew a paw on it. Really cute. Faith in government restored? Well, maybe not yet, but in my experience this is a five-star city clerk's office.
