I came by Lima's BMV in late May because I realized that I needed to replace my drivers license. I…read moregot lasik surgery a while back and in order to legally drive per the conditions of my license, I needed to wear eye glasses. Since thats not possible anymore, I went to my local BMV in Van Wert. I was told that since this is a replacement license not during renewal I needed to go to the one in Lima. So i went one weekday morning to get this resolved. Much bigger location than the one in Van Wert, also this one does driving tests. I went in and noticed there were three rooms, one was for driving tests so I did not go in there. I randomly choose one and made a line. When I got to the front, i explained I needed a replacement license due to having Lasik surgery. I was told i had to go to the other room first to get a vision test to prove my problems had been corrected. So i went to the other room, thankfully that one didn't have a line so I took the eye exam. Then had to redo the line in the original room I made a line in to pay, have my records changed, and take a new picture. Unfortunately, the line had become larger than when I first did it in the room. After paying and getting a new picture, I was told my new license was coming in 3-4 weeks and voided my old license. Yes, it is inefficient to do so many lines and wait so long for a license but it could have been worse. I have seen way longer lines down in Florida.

Parking: The parking lot is plenty large enough for someone…read moreto bring their trailer or camper and turn around. The lot is normally pretty empty with many available spots. Desk Staff: Everyone seems kind, I had April assist me with my paperwork and she was very friendly and even joked about how all my vehicles are black. Everyone seemed to be working quickly and respectful of their customers time. Bathrooms: No public restrooms, which is a bummer, but standard for a BMV. Wait Time: I have never had to wait in a line when coming here, although I do come during the week and no weekends, so I can't review the weekend wait time.
