Why I ask you does the Department of Motor Vehicles have to make it so difficult to get anything accomplished?!?
First, let's discuss their hours...
One day they're open for this but not for that but you can only get this till this time but you can get the other anytime but only till this certain time. What crazy person came up with this type of schedule? If you know...please punch them in the face for me.
Second, the lines...
No matter when you go or where you go there is always a line out the ass to get in there. If they know how busy it gets, wouldn't it make sense to have more than four people working there throughout the day.
Third, customer service...
I know it's not just where I live, but why are most of the people that work at the DMV assholes??? I have not only encountered these douchbags in Pennsylvania but also in Florida so I know it's not just a regional thing. I know they could give two shits what I'm there for, but a smile would go a long way.
Finally, their stupid prerequisites and restrictions
If I have a Social Security card and a U.S. albeit out of state license, then why do I need to show my birth certificate? I obviously was born in the United States hence how I have a license in the first place. And geez louise, I was born in this state and this county...ugh.
I have gone on this tangent because in trying to change my Florida plates and registration (which I may add is expired) I have encountered problem after problem in trying to get a PA license. It would be easy if I had my birth certificate but I unfortunately lost it due to a dickhead roommate and have yet to get it replaced.
I know they have their rules for some reason or another but at this moment I am extremely irritated with the whole process. I don't look forward to going through all this crap again when I have to change
my name after the wedding : (
Not cool DMV, not cool.

They are TERRIBLE. I HATE having to go there, and it certainly doesn't help with how rude they are! Ours has a bullet hole in the door. :-/
SO sorry! The DMV's are horrible everywhere...I agree with you! Don't forget the marriage license when it is time to change your name!
NOBODY likes the DMV. What a disaster. It doesn't matter where you go they are a hot mess. The people that work there are so angry and bitter b/c of their crappy and difficult job. Not an excuse but...they are probably miserable. I only go if I have an appointment.
Move to North Dakota! I kid you not, we've got THE easiest DVM in the country. When I wanted to get an ND license? I gave them my California one, filled out some paperwork, and took a picture. Done. Oh and did I mention I did that all RIGHT at the window? No getting back into lines, nada. When we needed to register my husband's car here? No problem! It had been expired for a few months in CA, NO late fees and he didn't even have an ND state license at the time. There are no long lines (the longest I've ever waited is 10 minutes, seriously) and the people are pretty nice. I REALLY don't miss the California DMV offices...but I really don't like North Dakota. Lol. Pros and cons everywhere right??
We spent almost 2 years trying to pay the sales tax on one of my husband's old vehicles. All because the previous douchebag owner scratched something out on the title and rewrote it. They made us track down and find the previous owner, get them to fill out some form, and blah blah blah blah blah.... 2 years later we were finally able to pay them! Seriously?! We're trying to give you money! Take the effing money!! And you're absolutely right, it's not a regional thing, it's DMV's EVERYWHERE!!! My husband almost had the cops called on him for dropped the C word at one of the girls who worked there haha
But really, they are redic! I hope you get it all straightened out soon, sorry you have to go through all of this!
You don't have to be born in the US to get a US license. The foreign exchange students in high school always got their permits before going back home.
I agree, though, the DMV is full of idiots. The room is always filled with sketchy, drug-addicted people trying to get their license back!
What's worse is that you have to take the written test when you move to a new state!
Ugh, DMV sucks the joy out of life. Hate the place. Good luck getting everything straightened out...when I did the name change thing, I brought a giant stack of thank you notes to write while I waited. It was productive and also in the same vein as my name change "errand"! :)
I'm confident that they have certain pre-requisites in order to be hired by the DMV which include inpatient, rude and out right difficult personality to handle any and all requests. Forget national healthcare - figure out a way to streamline the DMV and Post Office. I don't understand why those two places always have the LONGEST LINES ever.
Last time I went to the DMV, L was a baby and I was lugging him around all that negative energy...it was an awful experience. UGH.
I am going through this SAME DILEMMA right now in North Carolina! I moved here from SC the day my plates expired. But in order to get new plates you need a NC drivers license which requires you to take the drivers test all over again! Not to mention that my SS card got lost in the mail so i have to wait two more weeks for that to even apply for a license AND that NC doesn't issue them in office! You have to wait to have it mailed to you!
DMVS SUCK!!!!
