Oregon DMV – Grants Pass Office

They were all very polite and courteous. I made the mistake of bringing in a «copy» of my birth certificate. They said I couldn’t get my Lic. until I brought in the original. Which I did the next day. Then I find out if I wasn’t even born in the USA. I could bring a utility bill in and get a lic. REALLY??? WTF!!’???

I’ve been to the GP DMV three times. One to get my Oregon license, because I’m an Okie and apparently according to the law it’s illegal to stay an Okie. They were friendly, but not testing anymore that day.
Played hookie from work, went with all of the necessary documentation, tested, got my Oklahoma tags switched for Oregon ones, took the most horrible license pic ever, and was on my way. The lady was relieved that I had all of my documentation. The girl before me was yelling at her because she didn’t have her stuff together. Oh sweeti. It’s called Google. It tells you what to bring.
Third and final time, went in, waited my hour (personal paid time off work yet again, score!) to change my car and license after I got married. Again, nice friendly service.
To the masses: it’s a DMV. Please don’t expect these people to break rules for you. It’s not going to happen. Also please expect them to give others the same courtesy as they give you. Aka don’t expect a five minute visit. Plan ahead. It takes time to get things done. Google your documentation requirements before you come so you won’t have to leave and come back 19 times. It’s all sort of simple.

I had to register my truck. There were about 30 or so people inside waiting. Took them well over 45 minutes for me to be seen. The funny part of the visit to my first Oregon DMV was that I met the DMV Nazi. She was cracking me up by yelling at people in the room. All in all, it was a comical visit.
I have to give 3 stars in that I am now paying $ 86 every two years for my truck where in Cali I pay $ 722 a year.

Most of the staff are great… There’s a few that need customer service training … You know who you are… :). If you are gonna get paid to service customers, might as well put a smile on your face and enjoy it.

Amazingly enough, I walked into the DMV on Wednesday and there wasn’t another soul in the office other than the clerks! I already had my forms filled out so I went right up to a person to change a title and renew registration and was walked out with tags in hand and wallet a little lighter in about 5 minutes. The clerk was very personable and nice! I never would have believed that going to the DMV could be that easy!

12 Minutes. That’s how long it took from the time I took my number ’til I walked out with a replacement license in my hot little hand after having my wallet ripped off. Cost? $ 26.00.
Emloyees are personable too. Not droids.
