These local heroes graciously came not once, not twice, but three times in 24 hours... turns out…read moreone of my smoke detectors was faulty. Quick Backstory: As my neighborhood has history of power surges, & I have brain disease & a tenant- I have to be extra extra diligent with my smoke detector (& electrical) maintenance- so I am diligent. In fact I had just replaced all four of my smoke detectors last year... which leads to why I was panicked when my living room alarm randomly started going off... of course after hours, in the evening, starting while I was out of the home each time... Long story short, these heroes checked (& changed) each set of batteries in every rm but my tenants (who was trying to sleep) so they came back the again the next day (while my tenant was away at his work) to check his alarm too. When I found my alarm going off a third time (upon entering my home later that night)...they came yet again, confirmed it was 1 of the 4 hardwired that was faulty.... (Yes I'm ordered a new 1 & issue set to be solved.) Key is that they were so patient & professional & provided me tremendous relief. I'm ever so grateful to be in a community with such great local heroes!

I never expected to give a government office 5 stars! I had been dreading needing to go down to the…read moreADA County Courthouse to file for a name change for my 2 minor kids. I decided to go ahead and go today after meeting my husband for lunch. Honestly, I was prepared for a 2 plus hour adventure. I arrived around 2:25 pm today (a Thursday). The security officers were very nice and efficient. I went into the clerks area and took a number. The wait was exactly "0" minutes. I was almost immediately called up to a window. The gentleman who was at the window was super nice. He noticed that I had done my paperwork myself and suggested that I go over to the court assistance people to make sure everything was in order. Santiago also said that once I was done there and I was ready to file my paperwork I could just come back to his window. I headed over to the court assistance office and they were equally awesome. They looked over all of my forms, confirmed that I had everything filled out correctly, and then they stapled my papers for me. I was in & out (Yum....In & Out..) in under 10 minutes. After I was done there, I headed back over to Santiago's window and he got all of my forms filed for me. He was so friendly and helpful. He was very thorough in his explanation of what to expect between now & the hearing. He also gave me a good amount of direction on handling the newspaper publication of the name change. I have never left a government building so impressed! It was so nice to deal with someone who had such a great personality & people skills. Santiago's customer service was exceptional! He deserves a promotion & a raise! I also want to note that I was impressed by absolutely everyone who I care into contact with. Everyone was helpful, nice, & had a great attitude.

He is putting children in harms way because he isn't looking at the evidence. He is taking the word of someone who has clearly lied without any evidence.

And anyone that has him beware he not neutral or fair. He will favor women regardless of it they are good parents or not.

Moving from California to Idaho meant I finally had to register my car here before my out-of-state…read moreregistration expired at the end of the month. I called the Franklin office to find out what I needed, and the woman who answered was incredibly pleasant and helpful. She explained that because I'm still making payments on my vehicle, I could only register it for one year instead of two (if you own your vehicle outright, you can register it for up to two years). She also let me know I'd need to bring my current registration, driver's license, and the actual vehicle for a VIN inspection. She suggested making an appointment online before coming in. I figured I'd be waiting several days for an appointment, but to my surprise, I logged onto the website around 2:00 p.m. and was able to book a 3:00 p.m. appointment that same day! Since I wanted to stop by Trader Joe's afterward, the Meridian location made perfect sense. I arrived just a few minutes after 3:00 p.m. The office is tucked away in a corner next to a kids store, so I was a little confused at first, but thankfully I rely on my GPS for everything. Once inside, I scanned the QR code from my appointment at the welcome kiosk, received my number, and found a seat among about 20-30 people in the waiting area. I had barely been sitting for a minute before my number was called. I honestly thought, "Today must be my lucky day!" Travis helped me with my registration from start to finish, and he was fantastic. He explained everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and even helped me with my personalized license plates. The plate combination I originally wanted wasn't available, so he suggested another option that I actually like even more. Now I can't wait for my new plates to arrive! This was my very first DMV experience in Idaho, and it couldn't have gone more smoothly. The office was clean, the process was quick and organized, and Travis provided outstanding customer service. If every DMV experience were like this, no one would dread going! Welcome to Idaho, indeed!

I get it. The DMV can be the topic of a lot of jokes. There's even a new show out now called…read more'DMV'. That's not been our experience here. We were at the DMV for title updates three times this past week, and while the popular perception is that Flash from Zootopia is running the place, that's not right. Every staff member was polite, fast, and courteous. Darryl attended to us on the last visit and was very patient with us as we missed a signature on the title document. I also liked how some of the booths were personalized. One booth had multiple sloths. Here are some tips. Book online and save time Show up about 10 mins early Enter your booking ID from your email and get your ticket. You may be called immediately Have the right people attending. If your name is not on the title, whether it's the updated one or the new one, nothing can be done. There is a credit/debit card fee of 2% or something, but there is an ATM in the lobby. Either pay the 2% fee or bring cash or a check. Considering my own experiences with the DMVs in other states, we're very fortunate to have convenient DMV locations with personable folks working there.

Lawful Permanent Residents aka Green Card holders who are applying to be naturalized citizens Temporary visa holders who are applying to be a Lawful Permanent Resident NOTE: This USCIS field office only allows entry to individuals who have appointments. You can't walk in and look around. If you have an appointment, drive to the location a day or two before. It's not downtown nor is it easily visible. While it's located near the mall, it's quite hidden behind several hotels. Doing a mock drive will help anyone with an appointment to time the drive and arrive about 10-15 minutes early. Once you open the doors, you will need to show the document from USCIS that proves that you have an appointment. The head security person will review and verify it before allowing you to go to the security machine. All your items will need to go through an X-ray machine. Once through security, go see the person sitting at the desk. If there's someone there, wait until their intake is completed and then sit down. Once more, your USCIS appointment letter will be reviewed and you will have to submit your fingerprints. After that, take a seat in the lobby. When the USCIS officer calls your name, go to their office. Our experience had a positive outcome. All the officers were kind and helpful. I am thankful that we have a field office in Boise and that it is staffed with officers who are understanding and kind.
