Went here to day not for SSN stuff but for a Disability hearing. The place is very quiet. We…read morewere the only ones there when we arrived at 0900. A few others came and hour later and it was still quiet. While the hearing was going on, I sat in the waiting area and talked to the individual providing security. He is actually part of Homeland Security, he's not a contract business. Found that interesting. He was a great guy, passed the hour and half pretty fast chatting with him since it wasn't busy. Place is clean. There was another older gentleman on the other side of the sliding glass window answering phones. That was sort of weird actually, he was a bit loud even even with the window closed. Building is nice. Not sure it's age, tho it doesn't look old. Been well kept. Exterior shares a cobblestone drive courtyard with a high rise hotel. It's really pretty out there with all of the trees. If you come here, it's because you have to, it's not a place to recommend as it's not an elective place to attend. Tho, if you do have to come, it's a pleasant experience.

So... We all know government agencies are somewhat nonsensical :)…read moreTook a friend to get a replacement for their SS Card, not a bad wait. Here's the kicker, at some point a certified birth certificate is not acceptable? Go figure.. She was told needed a doctor's statement with name & dob signed & stamped!! Kid you not! The response to shock was "I don't know this is you" This says welcome FRAUD. We all know there are bad actors in every profession. So you could create multiple versions of identities. Sent request to Doctor office, stated had to be stamped. Finally got the letter, no stamp (they don't have one) Went right back, 20-25 minutes later process completed. Birth Certificate works to get a passport (at least it did) Can you think of any reason it would not be accepted for replacement SS Card & since when? Oh! If you are trying to get SSD for anyone this after 400+ days. 1st thing I heard when I got a person is well you know Covid-19 backlog! Additional fact this is for Widow's benefits spouse passed 11/2024. recording says 200 days

Who the heck writes a review for a government center? I do...and let me tell you...this place…read moredoesn't suck as bad as you think it will. Sure its not fun to go and stand in line to get your plates, registration or other government related business done, but you have to sometimes. The great thing about this place is, they seem to move people along pretty quickly and get you in/out and back on your way. Think "under 20 min" type of fast! Also, the times I've been here, I've never seen any of the employees just standing around, not helping, while one window is open...and everyone is just STARING and the lazy employees standing around (looking at you post office). No..instead you have several windows open of people who are happy to help you with whatever process you need, and friendly enough to engage in conversation distracting enough to make the time fly by. Props to whoever is hiring and training these government workers. Tip: do be sure to bring in all your documents including vehicle insurance if you're getting a new registration sticker. Also don't forget this is a government building so leave those kids and firearms in the car! Overall, I don't dread going to this place because I know I'll be out quickly and I won't wait in line for an ungodly amount of time. Enjoy!

I came 20 minutes before my appointment time, checked in with the receptionist, who told me to fill out a short form, which I did within 2 minutes. She looked over the paperwork, gave me a number and I was called within 5 minutes. The lady who fingerprinted me was business-like but not unfriendly, similar to the receptionist, and got everything done in 10 minutes, which meant I was done before my appointment time even came around. So, overall a pleasant and fast experience.

It was booked for more than two weeks. And when it was open for a day there was only one appointment slot for an hour. There are total 4-5 slots only per day.

The City of Garland's government agencies are the worst part of living here if you're a tenant…read more Despite that they have a Dept of Code Enforcement, the managing supervisor treats complaint inspections as if their only concern is for the landlord's health, safety, and welfare in protecting them from having to make repairs or pay fines. Lance closes complaints without repair claiming he gives preferential treatment to property owning landlords. Their department of fair housing intake specialist Debi berated me and intimidated me while yelling and lying saying because the federal government (HUD) doesn't pay them, they only follow their narrowly focused local fair housing ordinance and not the federal FHA or the Texas FHA. So if you are a tenant, I can assure you that if you have an unscrupulous landlord and you are being abused, the City of Garland is on their side and not yours.

First, it is conveniently located at the corner of Arapaho and Interstate 75. Second, there is plenty of parking for attendees of the event. Third, it has more of a neighborhood appeal to it as it is nestled close to a library, the post office, and a neighborhood. Fourth, the venue is versatile enough to handle multiple sizes of events from a small meeting to a large trade show.

The space was a bit outdated. The presenter needed to use a handheld microphone because the clip on mic didn't work well. They did provide water with big cups which was appreciated. Chairs were rock hard so it was uncomfortable sitting for an 8 hour training. For those coming from out of town, it was hard to get anywhere unless you get an Uber or Lyft. I don't think I'll be back unless I absolutely have to. Please update your facilities.
