I walked in mid-morning, around 9:30am and was done in less than 30 minutes. There were at most, 4 people in the waiting room and 2 of them were already being served. Dionne was incredible! She was so polite, friendly and funny. By the time I left, I felt like I'd been chatting it up with an old friend. I almost didn't want to post a review because I want to keep this jewel to myself so that it never gets crowded but my experience was just too great not to share.

05/27/2026 Dear Kim Chatwood,…read moreI am writing to thank you for all your help transferring my old plate to my new vehicle earlier today. I truly appreciate the time you took to assist me with my request. You went above and beyond finding all the info I needed to complete my process. You saved me so much time from leaving the line, going home and trying to find paperwork from the insurance co. that is required from the state to change over plates. Your support made the process much easier and I am grateful for your professionalism and kindness shown to me. If employees had the empathy and knowledge you possess for customers, the license bureau would not be compared to a root canal. You treat people with respect and a great willingness to help us. A wonderful representative employee for the license bureau at 1100 Fairhope Ave. 36532

Everyone dreads going to the DMV, but it is actually not bad, at least in my experiences. I…read moreoriginally went in this past Friday to register a new vehicle. I was given a number and took a seat to wait my turn. I waited less than 10 minutes before my number was called. The lady at the window was very nice, even when one of the papers I needed to register the vehicle was not in the envelope sent from the dealership. Instead of telling me to get it and come back, which is what I expected, she took it upon herself to go call the dealership and talk to someone and have them fax her what she needed. Since I had expressed an interest in wanting a personalized tag, she gave me the binder with all the specialty tags to look at and decide on one while I waited for the missing paper to be faxed over. Unfortunately, the dealership was very busy and couldn't get to it before I had to leave to pick up my kids from school, so I got my papers back and told her I'd come back on my next off day, which was today. Today, my wait time was again under 10 minutes. The gentleman at the window was very nice and got me taken care of quickly. He got me all set up with my personalized tag, and gave me a temporary tag to use in the meantime until the metal tag came in the mail. Overall, excellent experience both days. Not sure why people dread the DMV. I don't mind it a bit.
