I ended up wasting time AND had to pay for parking at your location for nothing. Tried to report it over the phone and each rep just wanted to pass the buck and not deal with it. Thanks for the awesome experience! Avoid this place for licensing in WA and go literally anywhere else for a more professional experience.

Using appointments is the way to go otherwise it could be an extreme wait. I came in and had an estimate of four hours for service and then I just made a quick appointment and got seen sooner. There was a really angry guy yelling at the women receptionist for some reason who caused a huge scene so that was a little fun, but I felt bad for the receptionist.

The newer way of things (since I swear it changes with each DMV and over time) is that you go into…read morean immediate line for a person who you say what you want to do and they tell you how to do it, what forms you need and instruct you with a few pro tips like, "Don't forget to sign and that that form you are holding." 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.

I thought they did a professional, thorough job. Theyre short staffed, like many places these…read moredays, just cant get workers. Now I showed up at the end of the month (poor planning)...i got there 10 minutes before they opened and there was already a queue of about 30 folks. I waited about 45 minutes before my number was called. I showed up to get my first OR license, having been a Washingtonian these last 62 years....I brought the recommended paperwork with me (mail with my name and new address) and my WA DL. Now the DMV website tells you that you have to take the written test, so I had even studied up, and was crestfallen when I was told that they'd rescinded this requirement, perhaps temporarily. Passed the vision test, approved the use of my sorry organs in case i get whacked, and got my pic taken and paid the fee. Great. Bonus was that my WA motorcycle endorsement transferred with no question or fuss. Oh, and they are VERY quick to point out that if you have a valid US Passport, you dont have to fiddle with the new improved ID. Good job DMV. But next time maybe I'll avoid end of month :)

I consider the…read moreresources available to management and have a hard time understanding vacant windows when there's a waiting room full of people spilling out into the entry. I also don't understand shutting down the entire office for 1.5 hours in the middle of a work day (from 12:30 to 2 p.m.). It's a little ridiculous. How many other places do this? Can you not cycle employee breaks like everywhere else? There's a lot of things about this place that I don't understand, and the tedious waiting in the lobby amplifies those concerns. An hour and a half after I pulled my number 85, I was helped by a gentleman with what I can only describe as having a "really cool and unique" hairstyle. He was friendly... provided no obstacles for me and was efficient in processing my needs. His demeanor and efficiency helped adjust my own disposition, which was souring with frustration as I sat there. Overall, my time spent in this office was not fun but not completely awful. This place could be managed much better - having employees rotate breaks to not close down completely would be a good start. Staffing more employees would also help. The employee with the cool hair that I dealt with salvaged my experience here for me, and eventually, I left with what I needed. Won't be back anytime soon, hopefully... and I also hope management reads my concerns and addresses them. I'm sure many others who deal with this place feel the same as I do. Thanks, guy, with the cool hair! I dig your hair man.
