That’s a relatively recent development…LOL

The DMV was terrible for quite a few years after I moved here. They lost a copy of my car title when I paid it off, which caused a months-long stand-off between the finance company and the DMV.

It highly depends on the service center.

The one off Rhode Island Ave?

They lied straight to my face about what documents they needed to register my out-of-state car. I literally pulled out the lady's business card the next visit and said "Is this you? I talked to you yesterday and this is what you told me I needed."

She suddenly remembered me and registered my car.

The one in Georgetown? I was in and out in 30 min. No issues.

It was the one in Georgetown that lost my title.

I started going to the RI Ave DMV sometime after 2010, and they got significantly better as the decade wore on.

Absolutely, it was terrible. I went to renew my license once and at the time I wore contacts with one eye corrected to see distance and one less corrected for close up. I failed the eye test. I went home, got my glasses, came back, got back in line, waited hours, and passed the test. It took a ridiculous amount of time and two managers to override the failed eye test and approve my license. Sort of my fault, but a crazy amount of time and work to fix.

My mom did the one contact thing and it played hell with her depth perception, which led to her being injured. Do you have the same problem?

I did it for years and had no issues. I had to give up contacts though due to dry eyes.
