Quick | Friendly…read more It's been 7 years since I've been here, but they've made changes to their system, and I feel like it's made things more efficient. I had to renew my DL and get the real ID, so I had to come in. I tried making an appointment online, but the next available appointment was at a further location in over a month. It would be cutting it too close with my expiration date. I tried my luck this morning as a walk-in. I came in at 10:15am on a Thursday. At first, I was discouraged a little when I took my number and my estimated wait time was 1hr - 1hr 25 min. Within 5 minutes of waiting, I saw my wait time grow to 2hrs. Luckily, we don't have to sit and wait there, so I ran one errand. Perfect timing because the wait was a lot less than originally estimated! I was helped within an hour by a super friendly lady named Anahi (sp?). It was nice chatting with her while she quickly took care of my renewal and application. I waited maybe another 5 minutes to get my photo taken and then was done! One thing that's new (for me) was being updated with the wait via QR code. It's SO nice not having to wait the whole day there not knowing when you'll be helped. I've been to other DMVs that aren't that great and this location is my favorite.

Easy in, easy out…read more Nobody really wants to go the DMV, unless you're a teen getting your first license. And that she was - having just passed the driving test at an offsite location in Wilsonville, the daughter and I went to the nearest DMV to get her license. It turned out the Sherwood branch was a zoo, packed with people, a bit surprising for a Tuesday. Once we made our way to the Info booth, we learned that despite having her photo ID / permit, they still needed her birth certificate (again) and supporting documents. So we left empty handed and headed home. Once in Salem, we grabbed what we needed and headed to our local office. I was a bit nervous to see the lines, but was quickly relieved to see a mere fraction of the people in the last branch. She was quickly assigned a number, with only two people ahead, and just like that - there's a new independent teen driver sharing the roadway. Don't fret, if anything, she's overly cautious! Yes, obligatory photo snapped in front of the DMV sign with her temporary license, but no permission to share. I don't know whether to cry tears of joy or sadness now that she can come and go in her own car.

What a great service! So I gave her my phone number and was able to wait outside in the comfort of my own car and enjoy reading my book. Their system sent me a few updates as my spot in line approached. They also provided a link to web page where I could view my wait status. That was nice since I didn't have to worry about losing my place in line while I waited outside I ended up waiting just 20 minutes (they served 11 folks in that time) and got my job done in two minutes. So I had a great experience here and especially appreciate the hard work DMV has done to serve us and minimize the pain of going to the DMV office. Kudos! :)
