Make. An. Appointment. Also, have every document you think you’ll need plus those extra ones just in case to avoid a second trip. Hard working employees must follow rules, so be prepared. Snack bar.
Renew registration at the kiosk! $3 fee but worth it! And no one tells you about that option when you check in. But the man at the kiosk is SO helpful!
Don't rely on the text message to come through. Mine didn't AND the monitors were down that day. Missed my spot by the time I got the text. Hate the Dash Pass system.
Self serve kiosk is supposed to be faster, but leave it to the DMV. One doesn’t work, the other backed up, 8 people in front of me. Employee standing next to it saying “have your credit card ready” 🙄
If you are changing your last name, make sure to do your LICENSE & YOUR REGISTRATION. They don't always tell you that - you don't want to come back again.
Too bad they don't have online appts & they really do hide all of the important need to know things in the last pages and smallest print of all their documentation. Read thru everything 4-5 times.
