This DMV is SO organized and the staff is so helpful and friendly! I love that they have the person at the front ensuring everyone that goes in has everything they need to avoid anyone taking up time once inside. I was in and out within 15 minutes! I did have an appointment. I know DMVs have bad reps but this one is honestly amazing. :) read more

Coral Reef DMV -- A Stressful Experience That Needs Improvement Julio is an absolute gem -- professional, kind, and helpful. Saturday staff is also great. That's where the good ends, unfortunately. Weekday visits are a different story. Overcrowded, understaffed, and stressful. One employee repeatedly told me I wasn't "prepared" despite having every required document in hand. A little patience goes a long way -- we're all just trying to get through the process. The road test examiner had difficulty communicating clearly in English, which made my daughter uncomfortable and less confident during an already stressful exam. Being questioned and second-guessed at every turn and stop is not acceptable -- this is a driving test, not a pop quiz. Pro tips: Go on a Saturday, ask for Julio, and bring billing documents dated within the last three months -- they will ask for them. read more

Just like most DMV's this place is horrible. These county workers think there's something special but they aren't. They antagonize you behind the glass after you've waited, got all your documents and made a mistake. You lost your chance. No coming back the same day no more walk-ins available You're screwed. The person in charge of these DMV really needs to be fired or retire. And let AI do everything that these people do because it's a joke and I'm tired of paying for it as a taxpayer. read more

Terrible Experience!! Staff is extremely rude, anyone who had questions received major attitude in return and was spoken to with major disrespect. I was only in the walk in line for less than 10 minutes and witnessed 3 people who were disrespectfully spoken to. Do not go to this place read more

this must be a joke, you cannot get an appointment, when you do it's for theee mi this down the road, when you finally get there with appointment you may as well not have an appointment because you're gonna be there all day, ridiculous, rude and not very easy to use, I cannot believe that with all technology we have that the DMV feels like a third world country all over again, or should I say a banana republic read more

This place is so unprofessional, the staff, the manager... They treat people who are there seeking service with complete disregard. Oh and if you don't speak English get ready to be discriminated against by everyone there. read more

I arrived an hour before they open their doors, and there was a line to walk in. Went you try to get an appointment, the next available appointment is 3 months out, after waiting for 2 hours. One of the workers came out and said that they had taken the walk ins for the day and that they were not allowing any more walk ins read more

This driver licensing business like most of them have like a thousand people waiting in line and rude workers that are on a power trip. My experience was as expected. I get there early, wait in line for 20 min not knowing which line was for what and then for the rude worker to tell me I'm in the wrong line and I have to go all the way to the back. Then tell me after to come back another day after waiting 30 min. There has to be a better system. When I left I had a better experience in the South Dade location. Received a number and came back at a certain time to be helped. That's thinking outside of the box. read more

Decided to do a walk in at this DMV to renew my license since I needed a last-minute name change. Read some reviews talking about how they try to get everybody for walkins, but I had a TERRIBLE experience at this location. Got there as early as 2am (pictured) and was the fifth in line waiting for the place to open. There was a man in front of me who has been waiting there since 4 PM the day before. By 7am the line was HUGE over 60 people and two ladies finally come to give everybody tickets. This lady (pictured) began giving out tickets starting at the END of the line, as in the people who had just got in there got the first spots. The woman (pictured) refused to listen to us even though there were people who stayed overnight getting the last tickets because they decided to go backwards in order for some reason. Completely disorganized and the workers refuse to listen and only do what is convenient for them even though it's not fair whatsoever. read more

I was a walk in and was able to renew my license. Nancy took care of me and was super nice and such a calming presence. They do keep the line moving which was awesome and productive. My only issue was witnessing a cashier speaking to another customer with such disrespect just because he didn't speak English. After a two second interaction she even smacked the glass where there was sign that said she's the cashier with such frustration it made a loud noise everyone looked over. It was just a language barrier.... There are plenty of people that work there that speak Spanish, she could've easily asked for an interpreter and it would have taken the same amount of time as her tantrum. I understand it is a fast paced environment but let's not forget about human decency. read more

The wait was a little long but they kept it moving. I would rather go here than Florida city. I did come in as a walk-in.

Ani motor vehicle location was accepting appointments and looking at the reviews I expected the worst possible scenario. The line was there as expected, moved quickly early before opening time, number was given wait time was not long, driver's license information was scanned and it took less than 2 hours and the staff was pleasant. I was told to pack patience an expect really long lines but both service, & line moved quickly. If you start with a positive attitude and the knowledge of knowing you're waiting then anything if shorter will be a pleasant surprise and I was able to head to another appointment 1/2 hour before 9 am. read more

Super busy, don't go if you don't have an appointment. Coming from NY, I've never seen a dmv so unorganized

Very unorganized. Waiting over an hour, people who arrive late get in line before you just no common sense on how this appointment system works. May as well jot bother to get here early just show up when u feel like it. Appointment at 330 arrive at 310 and an hour later still waiting outside just ridiculous read more

I'm including info that may be useful for people as it's hard to find definitive info specifically for relocating to FL from another state. In FL, the Motor Vehicles Agency (MVA) issue driver licenses and anything related to that. To register or get license plates/tags, you have to go to another tag/titling agency, not the MVA. Many are run by individual proprietors and process taxes as well. -You should get an appt for MVA services online. If you try to do a walk in - you will be waiting in line for hours and may end up out of luck. -Online appts- keep trying and refreshing the appt browser until you get an appt, look at other offices in less busy areas if you are desperate. I had to keep checking the site multiple times every day for 3 weeks before I found an appt slot a month in the future! Once you get a confirmed appt, you will get an email initially then a day or 2 before the appt date. Print it out and bring it if possible. I saw people having difficulty showing their phone/email to staff. -Bring all your documents. Look online for the required documents. Save yourself and the office stress by being prepared. If it says 2 documents to prove your address, bring them. Don't think you will get away with trying to produce a random document that doesn't have your name and address clearly printed.. think utility bills, credit card, insurance, pay check, 401k docs with your name and address. -There are no forms to fill out ahead of time, the staff fill out everything for you based on the situation. They enter in the info and you can validate on a screen to make sure everything is correct -Free parking but it gets pretty full but I was able to find a spot on a Monday morning. I arrived at 9: 20 and the walk in line was already long -There are 2 lines extending right and left from the entrance. One is for walk ins and the other is for appointments. Make sure you are in the correct line. The line that is on the left (if you are facing the building from the parking lot) is the appointment line. The walk in line had people waiting in the sun. The appointment line was under the building's awning so at least not directly exposed to the sun -There is an employee that checks and will stack you in the order needed based on the appointment time. For reference, when I arrived, 5 people were in front of me. I got into the building about 15 minutes later. (appointment line) -Once inside, you get assigned a number and there is a TV monitor w/ the number and station you should go to. They are also very good about calling out the number out loud. -For the Driver's license at least, I submitted my paperwork, they scan them, vision test, sign a few things, take your photo and then you to go another line for the cashier, pay, and get your license the same day -The entire process with an appointment including waiting in line took about 1 1/2 hour -Once inside, there are chairs and a few vending machines. Room is air conditioned and comfortable. Only feedback is the staff should consider clearly marking the appt vs walk in lines and information on signs. That way, people would not need to keep asking them or asking each other and would avoid some stress. Additionally, it would be nice to provide alcohol or wipes to sanitize the machines for vision testing. This location was surprisingly well run for a MVA (compared to the horribly inefficient Kendall branch) and the staff communicated clearly (English and Spanish) and were professional and helpful. I know a 4 star is highly unusual for a MVA government office, but compared to the lack of care or logic at other branches, this one was good as long as you are educated about what to expect. read more

So upset about the fact that this place is not open at 8:00 a.m. as it says on Google and on its doors. They did not open the door on till 830 on the not and the in after that the employees were all have stepping to their stations and turning on the computers. Im most definitely going to be late to work because of this. read more

Please avoid this DMV whenever possible. Their COVID-19 guidelines are poorly followed, their appointments run at minimum 1.5 hours behind (possibly because of overbooking on the website's part), staff is not respectful of your time, and does not communicate with anyone waiting for assistance. There is no sufficient weather coverage for the elements and this is overall a very unpleasant experience. read more

Driver Licenses Department - Clients waiting uncomfortably in the heat - Departments of Motor Vehicles Near Me - Miami, Florida

I will be contacting the better business bureau and state of florida to present a case of racketeering. State worker on site says that the state requires you to make an appointment. They are making exceptions with walk ins. I waited 3 hours in a walk in line to REPLACE a drivers license that had been lost/stolen. The state is requiring to make an appointment for 2 months out to replace license and risk being charged with driving w/o license to be ticketed and then go to hearing to present license that isn't readily available is racketeering. This is a game and it is against the law no matter who is doing it. I waited 3 hours in a line and wasn't able to wait any longer because I had to pick up my child from school. The representative that was on site said walkins start at 8-9. I come at 8 they are still not letting walk-ins in the building. They are calling out people with suspended licenses out the line because I'm sure those services render more profit. This is a sham and it needs to be stated and rectified. Definitely contacting BBB. Also the representative very rude and inconsiderate, they are giving instructions to walk in customers solely in Spanish. How do you think that is perceived to an American who has been living here born here for 34 years. This is very telling. read more

I had a great service here, definitely make a previous appointment as it will take you so long to go as a "walk in". I had to go twice because at first I received the wrong information over the phone but the lady that assisted me was able to explain to me what I needed. Overall, driving test is really easy and they are very to the point with what you need to do. read more

By far the worst place you could ever come to. And I mean that in the kindest way. I made an appointment MONTHS in advance to renew my license then I get here and the computers are down they do not honor that appointment. Next availability is three months from now so I am standing here in a walk in line where they have no care in the world for how long you've been there nor do they anything in their power to help the lines move faster, in fact they work even slower and treat you bad when you don't have an appointment, all intentional I promise. Maybe it's just a thing for the DMV to be the most awful place in the world. read more

Is not only this store, I can't believe myself that you need to get an appointment if you lost your license first you are in risk and it said you need to apply for an I'd as soon as possible , meaning that you are able to apply in the office as soon a possible it never said you need to make an appointment or application disadvantage let's said that you need to work and is faraway you can't drive because you don't have a license or you take a risk driving to your job but with the fear that the police doesn't stop you the other reason praying that you don't have a accident driving your car or taking a taxi,Uber, Lyft,etc how are they going to know who are you if you don't have a valid ID DRIVER License If you fell or felt like me please leave your comment below read more

Worst place to go to i definitely do not recommend it. all of the workers are extremely rude and they treat you like a prisoner. they yell at you to get in line and to get your documents out like if you were an elementary school student. no matter how early you go or how early your appointment is, this place is packed with people read more

It says its open today Sunday, after getting here everything was closed, wasted time & gas

I feel bad about this review but hoping the "higher ups" will see how horrible the wait is just for a driver's license. It is not the fault of the employees. They have been very patient with all of the frustrated people. We waited 9 hours just for the license. I am unclear how this is acceptable. We are held hostage by the policy of no appointments. If we leave we cant get a license. So we stay. Just be prepared to have water, a chair, umbrella, food, blanket and pillow. read more

Oh, wow! This is like entering The Twilight Zone. A Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles office, where everyone is nice and in a good mood, and you walk in and out in about 30 minutes (well, you have to wait for your license to be printed)? I've been in quite a few DMV offices through the years, you can usually get away with a nice staff, but the shortest amount of time I had experienced so far was about three hours. And, again, it is extremely rare to find everyone working with a smile, even though I overheard some of the employees were joking/complaining about how they fix one machine and another one breaks down and they find it hard to work that way... Yes, I should probably note that the place wasn't as packed too, so that may account for at least part of the speed, but again, customer service is important and I really feel this office had it as a priority. read more

I don't understand people's beef with the DMV. Like anything else in life, if you come prepared you will be fine. Everything you need to know/bring is listed online so that you don't fail or waste your time when you get here. Everyone working is nice and tries their best to accommodate people who don't speak English. Is it comical at times? Yes, but those moments make the time go by faster. Will you have to wait even if you have an appointment? Probably. But when did people lose their ability to be patient? Be patient. Be happy! read more

Like all government agency, if you have an appointment disregard because you are going to have to wait just the same way that people are in line. Having a appointment helps you a bit but, you are still stuck waiting. read more

It was time to renew the old license and I was forced to go in person because I had already renewed online previously. I made sure to make an appointment because I value my time and like to be efficient and organized when I do things. Yes, I am a little bit stiff in this regard, lol. I arrived 10 minutes early, papers in order and ready to go. I walked in and approached the reception desk on the right. I advised her I had an appointment at 1:30 but she seemed uninterested and told me to stand in line with everyone else. Wtf? Well, I did as she instructed and went to the back of the rather long and slow-moving line. There I waited for about 10 minutes and as I hit my appointment time I still had 4 people in front of me. I began getting distressed and then saw another man standing at her desk speaking to a manager and complaining about being told to wait in line when he also had an appointment. I quickly jumped in and said that I was in the same boat and had been there since 1:20. The man who was complaining was very nice and knew I was there before him and told the manager to take care of me first. After this point things went efficiently. I made friends with this kind man and his 16 year old daughter who was there for her learner's permit. From start to finish we were in and out in about an hour. With the exception of the reception girl, everyone else was polite. The person who took my pic was nice and allowed me to see my pic before making it final. I would return to this location, and if I get sent to the line I will ask for a manager immediately next time! read more

I was there on Jan 4th renewing my license, I dealt with the RUDEST woman, she had called me a rude name under her breath, she talked crap about me to the woman next to her. I could barely hear her because of the glass between us plus it was loud. She gave me the biggest latin attitude, I wish I caught her name. Warning, if you dont speak spanish, they will be rude to you. The minute I went up to her station she starting rolling her eyes at me, is that how you greet people? The only reason why I went to this one is because I live 10 mins away. Never going back again. read more

WORST SERVICE EVER. The blonde lady at the entrance can't try any harder to be extremely rude, no matter how nice you try to be. Made me make the line 3 times because of HER incompetence. Not only with me, but with everyone in line, even elder people who have trouble understanding her super vague instructions. They also made my wife redo the ENTIRE line because she didn't have her glasses with her, which took me 5 minutes to get in the car. Considering they make you wait outside in the Miami summer weather, they should be more considerate with customers. read more
