They are rude, unprofessional, and absolutely embarrassing the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. I went to get my Real ID, had all my paperwork, the lady was yelling at me to take everything out of the envelope, that I was holding up the line. Then, she started looking at everything, rolling her eyes, asked me why my name was not on my marriage license the way it was on my birth certificate? Ugh, I wasn't married when I was born. She then yelled at me to get my name fixed or they wouldn't help me. I literally was appalled that I had to call vital records, and pay money to fix my name, when they were like, but that wasn't your name. I explained that the employees at the BMV were not going to give me my Real ID until I got it fixed. She actually fixed it for me after spending all that money, and I took my paperwork back, and the same girl said she wasn't going to fix itt because, why is my name the same as my birth certificate and my marriage license?? Ugh, because you told me to do that! She ended up saying I am not going to help you. I had to fly to my home state and fix it there in order to get my Real ID. TIME IS RUNNING OUT! You need to get the real ID to fly. These employees are a joke! I would be embarrassed to say I work there. I remember one of their names, Nicki, the others, I do not remember, and dont care to.

No one likes going to the BMV, but sometimes, you just gotta make a trip. When that time comes up…read morefor me... I head here. This location, while not in the best area, has always been an easy experience for me. I generally come in the early afternoon. This way, you can beat the late afternoon rush, before they close. I've never had to wait very long and the staff has always been friendly. Pro tip - Smile, ask how the person helping you is doing that day, and have all your paperwork! They don't exactly get to have the best interactions with their customers and being nice and prepared can go a long way! I usually head here for issues with my car title. I've had to get a new one issued and once, an out of state title switched to Ohio, blah, blah, blah. If you need a new license, plates, or anything, you can walk or drive two seconds through the shopping complex and get what you need at the license agency. It's a little confusing but they offer different services and sometimes a trip to both is in order. That's why I head to this area, because you can hit up both if need be.

I barely passed but this has never happened to me before at other BMVs where I always pass eye tests. Until you update your machines we are going somewhere else.

Absolutely unacceptable experience at the BMV.

If you're going to make people sit there for hours, the least you can do is provide a restroom. Now let me tell you about Rachel--a loud, rude staff member who clearly thinks she's above everyone else. She spent more time chatting on the phone than helping people, while the rest of us sat there wasting our day. Her unprofessionalism is off the charts, and her attitude doesn't make the wait go any faster. If the goal was to show the public how little you value their time and comfort, mission accomplished. This place needs a serious overhaul in both service and basic human decency. I would give it a 0 if it would let me!!!!

Tell them when you get there, they text you to wait in the car and then when to come in. When I started it said the wait was 45 minutes; total was probably a little less than that, so don't check in super early. Waited inside for 15 or so after they texted to come in. Clerk was friendly and patient. Pretty much like getting a license: some questions, you sign and the kid signs, then gets a picture. A week or two later it will come in the mail. Not bad, and not a horrible wait or experience as far as these things go.

I chose to go here as I always have a good experience at this location. Tags and registration I am not so picky about but for drivers licenses, this is the place to go based on my N/S/E and downtown BMV experiences. As I pulled in the plaza, I confirmed on the phone and walked in. As I was walking in the door my number was called. The longest part was the eye exam and complementing the documents. Friendly agent. No issues with the task and picture was taken with a backdrop and not some web cam on the counter. I was in and out in 15 mins or less. Your times may very but it's a sold choice for the Ohio BMV in Franklin County. BMV location - Franklin County DR #2586 is located at 112 Dillmont Dr., Columbus, Ohio off US-23 North in a nice strip mall plaza above I-270 (outer-belt) and near Lazelle Rd. This location has also been known as the Worthington License Agency though it's above Worthington and probably closer to Lewis Center.

I was renewing one set and getting historical plates for another car; it would have taken about 15 minutes total except that they had a computer issue. Still, half an hour is about normal for a BMV. Service was friendly and helpful. It's a nice enough place to wait, with 20 or so chairs and a TV.
