We brought our forms of identification with us as well as our checkbook (they do take in-state, personal checks or money orders). Not only did they conveniently have on site photo service (which we did use) they also gave us tips on how to save a few dollars mailing in our renewal passports ourselves using priority mailers at the local USPS office. It was super easy, the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend this location to anyone looking for passport services.

I went in a few weeks ago to renew my license, I got there shortly before they opened and had the…read moreusual long-ish wait (but the people watching was pretty great, not as entertaining as at Walmart but not far behind!) The actual renewal process went pretty smoothly and quickly. A few days later, I received a letter in the mail... "The photo taken does not meet our quality standards, we need to retake your photo. The service is free." Okay, couldn't they determine that at the time the photo was taken so I wouldn't have to return?! Sure, it's free but my time isn't. I returned today, Wednesday, around 10:30AM, the wait wasn't long (there wasn't a line at the check-in desk) and once I was called, it was a quick process (although the service person was seemed preoccupied.

I was also confused as to why the test didn't end right after the critical error. Also, I got an error message when I was trying to schedule my retest.

I have such mixed feelings about this DMV…read more First parking is difficult. It's in a strip mall and to ensure the other business having parking for their customers most of the upfront spots are reserved for each companies customers. The lot is always full! Had to circle a few times before getting a spot. Second this location looks a bit different than any of the others I've been to. Looks like a pop up. You walk in and take a number but it is crowded so it's hard to even see that that's what you need to do and it's weird to approach because you have to squeeze between people being helped at the counter to grab a #. Third - No privacy at this location. When you approach the counter you are elbow to elbow with the other people at the counter (especially when people have 2-3 people approaching with them) also the seats for people waiting/standing is tight- less than 10 steps between the seating & counter. Also I was a bit concerned they don't really have those tables with the pens connected like other locations, they have one table with forms and you just fill it out however you can. It's packed so there's definitely people sitting around that one table. You can fill out the forms online ahead of time, which felt a bit more secure. The man sitting next to me had his form on his lap which displayed all his personal info including his ssn. Forth - when I first walked in they just called #14. I pulled #46. I thought I was going to be there all day with how crowded it was. I even thought about leaving to grab food and coming back later. I went outside for a bit then came back in stood until a chair opened. For the most part they were calling the numbers fairly fast. They would call a number 3x before moving on if no one responded. Some people needed Spanish speaking reps and most of the reps did not speak Spanish so they would wait and kind of go up one after another even if their number wasn't called yet. Again small location I could hear some of the employees complaining to each other what kind of services they "weren't" dealing with that day, which added an extra level of unprofessionalism to this location. I know they didn't care that we could hear but still. I waited about 35ish minutes for them to get from #14-46 which isn't as bad as I thought it would be. They were able to scan my ID and pull up my forms, I had to take a pic. There were people walking in front of me while the rep was trying to take my pic and a man even stopped to stand partially in front of me- no type of awareness to what was going on. I'll say I'm somewhat impressed with how fast (considering) things moved along but everything else here was a no for me.
