Renew Drivers License
« on: August 21, 2013, 06:37:03 am »
Yesterday I went in to renew my drivers license, and the line was about 50 people deep.  So today I am trying again, I signed up online for an appointment, so we will see how fast it goes this time!   Wish me luck

Don't know where you live but I am originally from Chicago where it seemed to take forever standing in those lines.  In 2005 I moved down to Bethalto, a small village in southwestern Illinois where  it now literally takes a few minutes to get that stuff done.

Making an appointment online is the way to go.  When you arrive at the dmv, you still have to wait a few minutes on the for appointment only line, but after that, you breeze pass everyone in line who don't have an appointment.   :thumbsup:

       Go to any other DMV in your state. Renew it there. It is that simple.

I guess that is another advantage of living in a small town-- the longest lines are only at Wal-Mart.

Good luck though, I think even have an appointment you still have to wait too.  I always book my appointment online because when I call in they take forever to response too.  No comment with DMV but I think they should work on there stuff a little faster.

Good luck, hope it works out better for you. I had to get mine renewed this year. Fortunately it wasn't that bad of a wait. It was like an express place.

The lines at the Department of Drivers Services are always long. I hate going in to renew. It takes hours to get anything done in these places.

I hate renewing my drivers license, and I have a bad leg and back trouble and I have to stand in the long line.

Oh, wow, how thankful I am that I live in a small community.  I've never had to wait longer than 2 - 3 people to renew my driver's license.
Have a wonderful day!
