    Inspection line
    Danielle G.

    Only reason I didn't give 5stars, is because I waiting on the line for inspection, when I didn't need too. Since I have a newer car, I ended up right at the office, which had no line and the lady gave me my sticker in 5 mins. This was around 1pm in the afternoon, so not bad at all. Was super easy to find, just don't waste your time in the line if your car is new. And your inspection sticker is good for 5 years, yah!

    TIP: If your car is less than 5 years old and you get a green/yellow card, DO NOT wait in the long car line, simply go through the gate, go all the way to the right, bypass the facility, and pull into the parking lot where the office is, and go into the office. They give you your inspection sticker in like 1 minute, and you are out of there. This applies if you are an out of stater coming into NJ and registering your car with a car less than 5 years old. Don't wait in the long line simply to get to the front and be told by the guy to go to the office, like a putz, like me. The line is pretty much always long, but it moves fast, and if you know you are going to fail, you get another grace period temporary pass, so just go.

Even though I was scheduled close to 2pm, I went before noon. Waited few minutes to check in, complete the form, waited 10 minutes to get the ID check done. Only had to wait couple minutes for the queue to call my ticket. Finished rest of the process in another 10 minutes or so. I was done in about half an hour. I'd take that any day. The facility is little old. It's showing signs of aging. The booth markings are little hard to find. But overall I experienced good speedy service both times.

Apparently people camp out at 4am (not about that life, which is why I got there at 7:50am). By 9am I was almost in the front of the line and there is a staff member that gives you a ticket. I went there to transfer a car title, was told they are only processing driver licenses. So only go to North Bergen for that and when you are there ask the person in the line if your paperwork is good to make sure you aren't missing anything. -Line moved fast -Wish I had known they are only processing driver's licenses, no registrations -Didn't see why the camp out since the line moved fast but I guess perhaps cause it is cold now, less people? For car registrations they told me to go to Wallington or Jersey City DMV**

    Although the bar isn't very high, I can confidently say this is one of the better DMVs…read more It's very convenient, situated right next to the Path train station at Journal Square. The facilities are very clean and well-kept. The employees are prompt and to the point - the female Latina receptionist is excellent. But, as always, this DMV has a few downsides: They stopped processing licenses and IDs - you have to go all the way down to Bayone or elsewhere for those. Lines often get wickedly long, even at the reception desk. Most employees aren't as nice as the receptionist, but they aren't obnoxious and helpful. You do need to book an appointment for most services, which helps with the wait time. There is no parking lot - only limited street parking and private lots nearby. Finally, during my last visits, I received some conflicting information. When inquiring about handicap plates, one receptionist said I need the handicap plate registration as well as a replacement plate registration. This isn't what the first receptionist told me and doesn't align with anything I found online. Overall, if you need to get registration, title, or plates, given its convenience and efficient staff, I'd recommend this DMV over most others.

Unfortunately the MVC locations closer to me either had no appointments or don't offer the services I need. Booking an appointment through the MVC website is pretty straightforward and you get confirmation right away. Once you get to the MVC you fall in line and check-in. They look your name up on the list and see when your appointment is. So really your appointment is just to allow you to check-in and not really for receiving service. Once they verify your documents they give you a ticket and you wait for your number to be called. It'll also tell you which window to go to. I didn't quite understand how the number system worked because at one time the same number was on the board 3 different times. All that said, the process was pretty efficient and I was out of the MVC within the hour. The employees I encountered were friendly and helpful.

I told the reception clerk I wanted to renew my license and get a new photo. She gave me two numbered tickets, one for the photo and one for form processing. I didn't get across the room and thought I heard my photo number, but thought they'll probably repeat it. I sat down and scanned the numbers board. My number didn't repeat so I went back to reception. Another clerk took me over to the photo window, spoke to the clerk and told me wait. She was impatient. Her instructions were confusing, but she got the job done. My form processing number was soon called. I did the very easy eye sight test which consists of reading one line of large letters. I tried to pay by check. They only accepted cash or credit card. My docs were processed. I was given my receipt and left. On the subway home I looked at my flip phone and found 7 DMV text messages. Four telling me to go to the assigned windows I already had visited, but 3 were sent after I had received my receipt and left the building. They said to go to another window. I only hope the last 3 texts were sent due to a computer glitch.

I had all my forms filled out and documents printed out in advance. After checking in, I was called up in 15 minutes and was out the door in the next 10 minutes.
