The employee who helped us came off very unwelcoming--more of a "what do you want?" attitude rather than anything friendly or professional. When asked for her permit, we explained she had just completed her knowledge test online a few days ago and hadn't received the physical card yet. We tried showing the confirmation email, but he insisted that the knowledge test wasn't the same as the permit test, which is simply incorrect. He argued this point pretty rudely instead of trying to help or clarify. I stepped in to explain that she had already taken the test (and even attempted it at another location before), but the way he responded and the look he gave was very unprofessional and honestly unsettling. We stayed polite the entire time and were just trying to understand the process, but the interaction felt unnecessarily tense. We ended up leaving and going somewhere else, where everything was handled calmly and professionally like it should have been from the beginning. Definitely not a great first impression.

This is a review for the DMV location at University Center on Ingra Street…read more I had to renew my Driver's License, and decided I'd go all fancy and get a Real ID, so I checked their website to see what documents I'd need, and that's where I discovered you could make an appointment. I didn't know if having an appointment would get me seen any faster, and the next available appointment was 3 days from when I booked, but that's ok, as my license doesn't expire until end of March. The emailed instructions said to check in at the information desk, or one of the kiosks. I put in my phone number as instructed in the email, and it printed out a ticket number. I rolled my eyes aggressively at it, thinking "I could have just gotten a ticket number from the regular machine" HOWEVER, the actual second the ticket was printing out, my number was actually being called at the booth. And I also got a text message too. I go to the desk, and Shiela/Sheila was super helpful. I had an eye test, I had to answer a couple of questions, provide some documents as proof of where I live, and my Legal Permanent Resident card, and that's about all she needed, despite the fact that their website told me I'd need to bring Birth Certificate, proof of name changes etc. I in fact had a big fat envelope full of stuff, "just in case" I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I paid my $40 and got a receipt, I think that's pretty good for Real ID. I was then directed to desk number 1 for a picture. The lady at desk number 1 was also very helpful and sweet, and she had an awesome sleeve. She checked my receipt, took my picture, even told me it was an awesome picture (I appreciate the kindness) and printed my temporary license telling me my full license card would be mailed and I'd have it in 2-3 weeks. All in all a painless experience, compared to previous visits where I've waited a very long time. Even this office seems a lot cleaner, airier, just more pleasant all round. I think back when I passed my drivers test, I took it over at the old location by Spenard. Anyway, so yeah, in and out in 15 minutes, I don't think you could beat that, so I recommend making an appointment for sure.

Downgrading my 5-star review for the DMV, sadly…read more The new location is massive and service is usually fast but...their are definitely some process issues that need to be fixed: I arrived 5 minutes early for my RealID appoint which I made weeks in advance. I got a text message the day before reminding me of this appointment and saying I needed to check in at the kiosk. So went right up to the kiosk (5 minutes early) and it gave an error, saying I was trying to check in to early, and that you can only check-in up to 10 minutes before an appointment. Huh? To make sure I was being gaslit, I re-checked my watch, and it was now 4 minutes before my appointment. 4 is less than 10 right? RIGHT? So I went and waited in line for the front desk. The snarky clerk wasn't listening to anything I was saying and simply said "Do you have a D1?!" And handed me a form to fill out. TIP: if the D1 is required...maybe have me fill one out online when I booked this appointment eons ago? I filled out the D1, and waited in line for the front desk again. I handed the D1 and the clerk didn't even recognize me. He asked if I was checked-in. I told him the whole reason I filled out a D1 is because he said I had to fill it out in order to check-in. He checked me in and I was instantly served. The process was pretty smooth from that point on. Except for one MAJOR thing: They took my driver's license, and stamped holes in it that read VOID. In return ,they gave me a printout on a piece of paper...that is ONLY good for showing cops when are pulled over. In a town like Anchorage where you ALWAYS need your ID for any and all alcohol purchases...I guess your option is to carry your insanely-valuable passport around with you until you get your RealID in 4-6 weeks? Y'all, there's gotta be a better solution to this. Here are two ideas: Idea 1: Let me keep my ID and have my ReadID shipped to the DMV. Send me a text notification when you have the RealID, and I can come in with my (non-VOID'd) ID and swap it ou. Idea 2: Get a printer to make IDs INSTANTLY, like so many DMVs in the lower 48 have. This current system just totally sucks. Choosing between carrying my Passport around and dealing with the crushing anxiety that I might lose it...or carrying a piece of paper and not being able to consume ethanol for 4-6 weeks...is a rough dilemma!

This was the one and only interaction I have ever had with ATA and I am very disappointed. I really wish I knew more about the group, maybe my opinion would be different, but the lady wouldn't give me any information. Don't call into to this place if you have questions about trucking, they'll blow you off and accuse you of being a waste of their time!!
