    I delayed renewing my license and obtaining my Real ID because of the stories I heard about people…read morewaiting in long, slow-moving lines and not having the correct identification for a Real ID. I knew not to go on Monday because the PA DOT Driver's License Center in Enola is closed. It gets hectic on Thursday, Friday, and weekends. I opted for today, a Wednesday. I was in and out within one hour, thanks to Craig, who processed my Real ID documents, and Stacey, the photo lady.

    So here's the facts: I entered the line at 11:15am. I left…read moreat 4:15pm. The crowd was crazy! So many people there for real ID. I'm not sure if it would be different on a weekday but it was crazy. If you're going on a Saturday or Sunday, I would get there as SOON as the doors open, or else you will be waiting for literal hours. It's not that the staff isn't working, but surely there's a more efficient way to handle things? Aside from that, the staff was nice! The woman at the end of the first line was checking everyone's documents to make sure they had everything they needed before they took a ticket for the larger waiting room. The process itself to get my real ID took five minutes. I'd recommend going with a full stomach, a book, or taking a friend to chat with/ befriend some other people in line or else it'll move at a snail's pace. Don't be miserable and you'll be fine.

    Update: got my driver's license in the mail on Monday - just four days after this dreadful…read moreexperience. To be clear, this location had no shortage of staff, just that nobody could do anything because the person checking people in was stuck with two people asking a multitude of questions that didn't have simple answers. There were plenty of staff ready to wait on customers once they were checked in. Despite Erin ordering me to look this way and that way, somehow the picture still looks terrible especially compared to my last two pictures. My one-star rating is because of the inefficiency of the office and how I felt as a customer being ordered about by Erin. If you can't be friendly, you shouldn't be in a customer-facing position.

    horrible place to get a driver's license…read more The Carlisle DMV has a reputation for being a challenging place to obtain a driver's license, often criticized for its slow service, extended waiting periods, and a confusing bureaucratic process. Such DMVs are usually under-resourced, which leads to understaffing and a backlog of service requests. The physical space can be crowded and uncomfortable, compounding the stress of waiting. Technological limitations may cause further delays in processing applications. Patrons are advised to come fully prepared with all necessary documents and to anticipate a lengthy visit, possibly spanning several hours, especially during peak service times.
