Visited this Washington Department of Licensing location to register a new vehicle we recently…read morepurchased. We made the mistake of choosing to let an Oregon car dealership process our WA state licensing paperwork thinking it would be easier. We quickly learned our lesson and will opt to take care of it ourselves next time. A check was overnighted to us from the OR dealership, made out to WA DOL with instructions to bring it to a specific licensing location near our home. As we all know, any kind of DMV office is no picnic. We arrived at this licensing office, took a number, and waited an hour before being called. The lady that helped us was super nice and friendly. I wish I would have gotten her name. Anyhow, after entering all the pertinent information into her computer, she realized the dealership had made the check out for the incorrect amount. It was about $300 too much. Ugh, we had to contacts the dealership and have another check overnighted to us. Very frustrating, especially with all the helpful calculation tools available at the WA DOL website. The lady gave us a printout of the exact amount required to register our vehicle and get license plates. She was so apologetic and helpful, even though it was totally not her fault. Once we contacted the dealership and received the new check, we returned to the same licensing office. We were fortunate enough to get the same helpful lady, which made the process quick and painless. She remembered us too, which was nice. My only gripe about this location is how long it takes to be taken care of. It seemed like the closer it got to closing, the more we noticed employees emerging from the back room to help out. Not sure why they couldn't have come out sooner, but waiting an hour seems beyond reasonable. Both times we came here our number was about 15-20 numbers behind the one currently called. We also spent over an hour here during each visit. Overall, the employees here are very knowledgeable. If you're not in a hurry, I would highly recommend this licensing office.

To my surprise, I was helped within five to ten minutes, which was impressive given how full the lobby was and that only a few staff members were assisting customers. The person who helped me was friendly, personable, and explained everything clearly. We even had a brief, pleasant chat about their dog, which made the whole experience unexpectedly enjoyable. That is not something I ever expect from a licensing office. I was there to get my Washington state registration, and the process was fast, smooth, and stress-free. Super efficient, super friendly, and genuinely a great experience. I would absolutely go back for any services they offer and highly recommend them.

Unfortunately I was number 450 and they were at 396 so I was waiting over two hours to get called. Last year I helped work to Oregon getting a pollinators plate for the state which provides funds to the pollinators educational program at OHSU. I had my certificate to get my new plate (which is beautifully designed by a 16 year old Estacada student). When my number was called it was then fast and easy to get my new plates. The folks that work at this location all seem very friendly and knowledgeable. Ad it was there was a guy sitting fairly close to me. I got the impression he has sat down due to fatigue. One of the staff came over to update him. When the person trying to help was letting him know his wait time he kept interrupting her and barking at her. I was trying not to overhear but she was so kind even with his nature. I was impressed and relieved when he finally seemed to listen to her telling him she was sorry for the delay in whatever and that they were trying to get to his issue. I get it - people go in pissed off from the start so I definitely appreciate the kindness while they are trying to do their job and navigate very hostile people.

But the line is for everyone. It took over an hour in the line and when I got to the kiosk to check in, my appointment lapsed and they told me to make a new appointment.
