    Had to hide my information for safety sake. Picture doesn't look like a mug shot at all. Maybe have more tax dollars for better camera?!?

    I expected the WORST from my dealings with Michigan SOS, and looked like I would be right when signed lease, birth certificate, passport, and Michigan driver licence was not enough to get my Ohio licence and licence plate. Maybe a pint of blood also?? No, just something from my bank dated today with new address and worker told me where closest branch was. I expected the chicken and egg problem, but bank took only the signed lease to update address - thank you Huntington Bank. When I got back, long line, but when person who helped me saw me, she told me to jump line!!! Paperwork and more paperwork including having to apply for Ohio title. I will have to wait for that and once with that, I can finally get my plates so another trip back. I did get my driver's license and the picture isn't half bad. Staff was happy to help and welcoming. What a change from normal. It seems places like that train staff to be rude and slow. Maybe she was absent the day of that lesson so I lucked out.

    The cleanest BMV I've been to and the people are actually nice. Waited for an hour but that's what's to be expected when going to the BMV.

    I checked in on line at home. That saved me an hour waiting at the bmv…read more Their text messsges were clear and easy to follow. When I arrived in the parking lot I texted the word here and they texted back to wait until my number was called and then enter the building. That worked just fine. The young man that waited on me was efficient funny and nice. I'm giving four stars because the lady who was checking in everyone Often let her mask drift below her nose. If we all have to wear a mask, we all have to wear a mask properly.

    3years ago, I wanted to get real id added to my driver's licence. I took in my original birth…read morecertificate and 2 proof of address. They refused my birth certificate because it was issued by the hospital, complete with my hands and feet prints, and said they could only accept a state issued certificate. $70 later, I had a new certificate. Now, 3 years later, I again arrive to the DMV with my birth certificate in hand. They accepted it, but I did not have proof of address as they did not ask for it last time! They provided a list of accepted items. One included a W-2 another was a tax return, either federal or state! As luck would have it, I had picked them up earlier at H&R Block. I left to go get them. I had to register again but luckily they still had my completed forms. Another 15 minute wait and I was called back up to the same clerk. She said she could not accept the W-2 as it was a copy. She said they scan the documents and can't scan copies. I said if you submit a scanned copy it is no longer an original. If the W-2 isn't good enough, feel free to chose with of the tax returns. Again she refused, even though they were on the list of accepted documents!!!! She said they were not the original forms. I file electronically, even if I hand wrote the forms, I would not have the originals as they would have been mailed to the irs! Again, I am turned away. I went home and picked up my W-2 and found in my mailbox a postcard from the BMV stating my licence had expired. Turns out a postcard from the BMV was also on their acceptable forms of it list. So off I go for the 3rd time in the day. I got a different agent this time. Took 5 minutes before she asked to verify why I was there today when I told her I wanted to renew my drivers license with the real id, she informed me the form, which had already been accepted twice so far today mind you, was not completed correctly and to redo it! It is now past 3 pm. I arrived the first time at 1. As soon as she saw the BMV postcard she immediately processed everything, accepted payment and took my picture then sent me on my way. I understand my part in this long drawn out day for not having the utility bill most often presented to the DMV, however, all my utilities are paid electronically and they said they needed an ORIGINAL bill not a copy. No matter what you do, you're screwed. I know they take a lot of crap from the public in general, but perhaps if they followed their own rules and accepted the proof of address on their own list the would far less unhappy customers who are getting frustrated and angry! Smiling at your customers would be an added bonus. Never again.

    Not bad for the BMV, all in all…read more Wanted an ID for Kid K. You need to bring a fair amount of paperwork, plus the kid. Checked in online, easy and efficient. Tell them when you get there, they text you to wait in the car and then when to come in. When I started it said the wait was 45 minutes; total was probably a little less than that, so don't check in super early. Waited inside for 15 or so after they texted to come in. Clerk was friendly and patient. Pretty much like getting a license: some questions, you sign and the kid signs, then gets a picture. A week or two later it will come in the mail. Not bad, and not a horrible wait or experience as far as these things go.

    My favorite location in Columbus! It was time to renew my driver's license. I checked in online…read moreand drove up from downtown (15-17 mins). I chose to go here as I always have a good experience at this location. Tags and registration I am not so picky about but for drivers licenses, this is the place to go based on my N/S/E and downtown BMV experiences. As I pulled in the plaza, I confirmed on the phone and walked in. As I was walking in the door my number was called. The longest part was the eye exam and complementing the documents. Friendly agent. No issues with the task and picture was taken with a backdrop and not some web cam on the counter. I was in and out in 15 mins or less. Your times may very but it's a sold choice for the Ohio BMV in Franklin County. BMV location - Franklin County DR #2586 is located at 112 Dillmont Dr., Columbus, Ohio off US-23 North in a nice strip mall plaza above I-270 (outer-belt) and near Lazelle Rd. This location has also been known as the Worthington License Agency though it's above Worthington and probably closer to Lewis Center. All kinds of food options in the area and close to Polaris if you want to grab some food and do some shopping too.
