With plenty of parking, then a quick stop for a security check, service offices are just a turn down the hall. Of course, there's always a wait at the DMV; however, across the hall at the Auditorium/Treasurer, there's never a wait, in fact, there's rarely a line. The employers are all pleasant and I'm walking out with receipt in hand in under two minutes.

If there is one place on this earth worse than hell, it's the DMV. For a little background I've…read morelived in Kansas City Kansas, Charlotte NC and most recently Austin TX and of course I've had to deal with vehicle issues in all those states. With that in mind and giving away the ending up front, Summerville DMV is the worst in many ways. First off, the people there are fairly nice so I have no issue with them however that's where the pleasantries cease. In Texas the DMV takes max 30 minutes. My 3 times at the Summerville DMV has taken an average of over 2 hours. In fact, besides Weds, they open at 8:30 am and I get there 30 minutes early to a line already wrapped around the building. That's right, 30 minutes early and you're late. Next up a small tip, before going visit the website and print/fill out all your paperwork up front. I will say this process could be sped up if this part was automated and could be finished online, but I digress. After finally getting a number, be prepared to sit or stand as seating can be limited. This will take at least another hour. The next issue I have is the state nickel and diming us everyway they can (vote wisely people). For context, a license in SC cost $25 where as TX is $10. After moving here I had to switch my plates out. Plates in TX are $20 when I moved there, here it's $350. I asked the lady, what the heck the costs are for and she explained to me: This supports freeway infrastructure (FREE way?), the plate, the county and sales tax. That is by far the most expensive I've had in the other 3 states I have lived in. Also note Texas doesn't have state income taxes..... Next up two of my visits the agents had computer crashes, in fact the last time I went the lady told me her computer crashed twice before it crashed on me, thus having to redo the process. This was another slowdown that should be addressed and considering they get so much money for services they don't provide new computers should be a no brainer. Finally, I think they have a staffing issue as they have approximately 30 stations and they're never more than 2/3 filled. In my opinion put a body at each terminal and get more people in and out quickly. Overall, I don't think it's fair for me to grade SC DMV vs other states b/c, and I'm going to be brutally honest here, SC processes and standards have always stunk (lived here before I moved to other states). But what I can judge on are inefficiencies and price gouging that occur. While there are other DMV options I feel it will be much the same so we're kind of stuck as this is what was voted for. I'm not saying anything new so I'll end up with this; I hate the SC DMV.

It was easy to get through security and the guard seemed happy as he directed us to the area where birth and death certificates are issued. The building also has adequate signs and a lot of parking, and being just off Leeds Avenue, it's not really a bad drive from anywhere in town. The SC DHEC Vital Records website lets you order birth certificates online, but it costs twice as much, which is why I chose to come here. As far as the employees in Vital Records, they were typical government employees and you could they don't like their jobs. The system is electronic just like the SCDMV. Have a seat and wait until your number is called. All birth and death certificate forms are available onsite, too. If you are getting a birth certificate, you have to wait onsite, and it took around 15 minutes for them to search and print it after I paid. All total, it took around 30 minutes BUT you get the copy on the same day, which is a big plus. Thankfully, you can also pay with a credit or debit card.

However, the downside was that the line at the DMV was very long. What contributed to the long queues is that folks came in unprepared, holding up the line. While I understand that that is the nature of the DMV, it doesn't mean it has to be this way! I hope that staff will look into optimizing their operations like how the DMV in Ladson did, which is asking each person in line what they need assistance with before they ever reach their seats or stations.
