Department of Motor Vehicles

Worst dmv I ever visited. Stay away! They move like turtles, take long breaks between calling numbers, and in many cases they are the ONLY one calling numbers in your class. This means when one person takes a break and is the only one handling the counter you need, then you are stuck waiting while no one is being helped. Don’t be fooled if there’s only a few people ahead of you. That can take hours. Good luck.

This is your average DMV. Usually very packed, but I went on a Wednesday morning around 9am and it was like a ghost town. I was in and out in about 30 minutes.
It’s your average DMV setup. A bunch of wooden church-​like pews and number boards to watch for your number to come up. The windows are well-​manned and seem to have an agent at every one, so things seem to move along at a steady pace. There is a pizza place, a bagel place, card shop, and Home Goods in the same lot. There is also a Dunkin Donuts across the lot to grab a coffee at before you go in.
So take my advice, Wednesday morning is the best time to go here. Any other time, and you better be prepared to wait several hours on average.

This particular DMV is horrible but not because of the people that work here but because of the area it is in and the people that use this DMV. Unfortunately for me this is the closest office to my house so I almost have no choice smh. I’m a state worker myself so I understand the attitude of the workers that are employed here. Especially when you have some of the dumbest people on earth showing up. I’m the guy that has all the paperwork done before I get to the DMV and since I don’t have reading comprehension problems there are no issues. But due to the amount of hood rats that show up here it turns into a problem for me case and point. This rat cut the line and when the DMV lady asked her for her current insurance she gave her a card for August. When the DMV Lady kept saying she needed a current card the rat got loud and I want to see a manger. Now as far as I know it is still July so when they ask for current they want July. These are the kind of issues that slow everyone down.
All said and done the workers are fine the clients suck

Ugh ugh ugh
Visited this site 2 times!
Everyone knows the DMV is a nightmare what I don’t understand is why the locations on Long Island don’t take appointments like the city ones do.
The first time I visited the site I brought all the required documents I thought were necessary per the website. When I finally got to the window where the woman checks to make sure I have the appropriate documents she told me I did not and would have to return. The only redeeming thing is that she gave me a get to the front of the line pass for when I returned.
Of course the day I returned the computer systems had been down in the morning. It started up in Albany and trickled all the way down. After getting my picture taken the woman told me I had to wait at least an hour to an hour and a half before completing the process. She told me I had enough time to go for lunch so I did. When I got back I sat down and patiently awaited my number to show up on the screen.
Long story not so short, 2.5 hrs later I went to the window to find out what was going on and she told me there was another glitch in the system. At this point she gave me another number and thankfully hurried me through. I then only waited another 10 minutes or so before being helped.
