Motor Vehicle Divison

The DMV has been «researching» the title to my SUV for over 10 months now even though I can show them where they made a mistake and titled it back into the original owner. The Clovis office says they can’t do anything until Santa Fe finishes researching it. The Clovis office can see the error, ‘but can’t help, can only forward the info to Santa Fe again.”

Everyone dreads going to Motor vehicle, but sometimes you just have to do it. Getting in and getting your number no problem. Getting called up to the first window OK seems to be smooth sailing. This is the first window they find out what you need then you have to go sit down again. Get called up to the second window where they take your picture for your new license. They’re very smart because at this point they ask you to rate their service. Well of course you’re going to rate them excellent it’s only been a few minutes and you’re already getting your picture taken. Little do you know that After giving them an excellent rating you are going to have to sit there for an hour plus just to get a piece of paper with your picture on it. The equivalent to a temporary license. Wait? All that waiting and I still don’t have my actual drivers license? Of the three different people that helped me out of the three different windows that I had to visit only one was pretty nice. Even typing this review I’m afraid that somehow motor vehicle will find out that I didn’t give them a great rating and that will be it for me. Then I may never get my license

They close at 5:00 so if you show up at 4:00 they won’t let you in. Bogus! Then once you get in you better have all that you need. It took us 3 tries to get my sons lerners permit. On the last day the lady almost turned me down because I had the wrong address on my license and it was almost closing time so she would have to stay later. Because I almost cried she decided to let me.

I have lived in 4 different States. NM has the worst department of motor vehicles.
I can’t register my car because I don’t have the title??? Am I the only one with a car that has been financed?
I am willing to bet $ that the next time I come back a while different set of requirements apply.

What a nightmare! It says they open at 8am but didn’t open till 915 due to a meeting. I thought meetings are supposed to be held before a business opens. Well anyways they were short staffed. I didn’t have the correct paper work so I went and got it (my fault completely) but when I got back the system they had going on didn’t seem like it was working. Everyone was super confused on what to do. The only reason I’m giving it 3 stars is because the ladies that helped me were so awesome and so sweet. Very apologetic for the wait and confusion. But like anyone knows, you plan a whole day just for the MVD!

Very fast– I think I only waited 5 minutes which is a miracle compared to California DMV!
