I can only say what it was like in Tennessee, Georgia, and California. All were wait in long lines at a DMV type, but all were near cities; Chattanooga/Atlanta/Los Angeles. I also did my Commercial Class-A license in California and that is a whole different experience too. Occasionally I’ve gotten lucky and gotten in and out within an hour, but there have been many times it was 2-3 hours. I’ve also had times when I had to jump through some hoop to bring some extra document, come back and get told there is some other holdup and it just keeps on looping. It can be such a mess with things like commercial licenses where there are more interstate and federal layers like hazardous materials certifications, medical certs, etc, but it has always been a dreaded activity for me.
Florida freaked me out. When I got here I assumed I couldn’t afford tags. Finally got a ticket, went into the tax office, empty. 5 people, “Sir! I can’t help you over here!” $35. Now $79 I think?
My wife’s not even American. She waited 20-minutes, took another 10, rolled out with a new license with her new surname.
It’s so mad efficient, I always vote for the incumbent tax person. LOL, only post I’ll vote R!
