I had a disappointing experience at the Orange County fingerprinting location in Ocoee…read more I was told I had to pay a $27 fee because I live on the "outskirts" of Orange County, even though my address is within Orange County. This felt misleading and inconsistent, as the information was not clearly explained beforehand. Additionally, the staff member assisting me was very rude and unprofessional. She gave instructions in a harsh, condescending tone that made me feel uncomfortable and disrespected. Regardless of the situation, everyone deserves to be treated with basic courtesy and respect. The office was empty at the time, so there was no reason for the rushed or dismissive behavior. I would recommend that this location improve both transparency around fees and customer service. Based on this experience, I would not return.

So, during a recent bout with the flu (don't ever get sick. . .EVER!) I picked up a prescription…read morethat was pretty powerful. After reading the bottle label and the risks involved, I decided not to put it in my precious body. So what to do with it? I took it back to the pharmacy, because that's where it came from. And of course, they would not take it back. I had heard of a community drug take back program available in the Ocoee area, and since I drive by the police department frequently to pick up SBUX, I figured why not drop it off. Now, how should a person properly dispose of unused or outdated medications to prevent harm to others? I have heard of things like mix it with kitty litter and throw it in trash, and the toilet. But instead of trying to sort it all out, I decided to leave it in the drug drop box in the police department lobby after blacking out the bottle label. I think it's a great service, especially if you have medications that kids or teenagers can get into. I wonder if this works for illegal drugs. . .maybe someone who gets tricked into drug smuggling could drop the goods in and save their asses before getting caught and ruining someones life--I watch way too much "locked up abroad." FDA link on how to dispose of medication http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm101653.htm Now, I do have one gripe with Ocoee. Not sure if it's police department issue. It's the photo red light ticket. I think it's more a money making venture than safety related and I was seriously angry when I ended up paying a ticket for turning right on red. It had one of those "stop here on red" signs with an arrow. I'm getting upset thinking about this right now, so I'm going to stop. Yes, quite an abrupt ending.

I have been to this location quite a few times since moving to Altamonte Springs a few years ago…read more During the height of the pandemic, Seminole County changed the process for its citizens in need of services at the local Tax Collector Offices and DMV locations (along with mAny others, I'm sure,). They began requiring an appointment to be made online or by phone to avoid overcrowding, long lines, stressed out employees, and the opportunity for the spread of the virus, germs, and other illnesses. It was a good idea and was made with good intentions. However, on the flip side, if you were trying to get a copy of your ID printed or some other time sensitive service, it wasn't so great. I was unable to get an appointment at any of the locations in Seminole County for weeks, sometimes months, in advance. They did not take walk-in appointments at all. Plus, the lines and crowds inside did not seem to lessen much with the new regulations. I would get there 15 minutes early, as instructed, and still needed to get a number, sit down in the lobby, and wait for it to be called. Again, I had to wait for 20-60 minutes AFTER my appointment time. Somewhat recently, the rules changed again. The Tax Collector Offices still offer the ability to book an online appointment ahead of time, and it is still rare to be able to find one within the same week. Luckily, this location now offers walk in appointments for some basic services, such as a new copy of your driver's license or ID. This office allows walk-in appointments until 4:00 PM Monday - Friday. You can schedule an appointment online for a designated day, time, and location. They are available for weekdays, Monday - Friday, 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM. You can also check the website before going to the location for a walk-in appointment to see what the average wait times are. The last time I visited this location, I went without an appointment at about 2:30 p.m. I expected to have to wait without an appointment, but I was shocked to discover that as soon as I took a number, it was called within 2 to 3 minutes. I was in and out of the office in about 10 minutes total. The woman working was very friendly and there were barely any people waiting in the lobby. My only complaint is that to get a new copy of my ID and my partner's driver's license, we had to pay $60! We have the Florida gold star on our IDs, but apparently that doesn't help with the cost whatsoever! Besides that, though, it was a great experience!

It's very convenient to have this office of the Consulate of the Dominican Republic in Orlando…read more They offer legal services, Dominican passport renewals, document translations, assistance with birth, marriage and death certificates and visas. This office is located on E. Colonial Dr., there is no parking in front, but there is plenty of parking in the back. They operate Mon-Fri, 8a-4p. Be mindful, they observe Dominican holidays. When they answer the phone, they are good with providing information and guidance. On arrival, there were not many people waiting, one of the people did get up to question how much longer the wait would be. I was given a form to complete. All the forms are in Spanish, and if like me you have difficulty with Spanish legal terms, they help. For services rendered, they do NOT accept cards, CASH ONLY. It is supremely inconvenient, the reason for the 3 stars. They do have an ATM inside BUT the service fee is $6.50, plus what, if any your bank charges for not using their ATMs. The entire process was quick, it took longer because went out to find my bank ATM.
