Fast service . Check online so you have proper documents and then you will not have any problems. I had no problems getting a corrected title and I had friendly people helping me.
Vehicle services is fast and the folks are super nice. Driver services is slow as hell and the folks are jerks!
Whatever letter you have in the waiting area, they'll serve all the way up until the # before yours and then you'll never live to see that letter called again. Just pass away in your chair, schmuck.
Don't go the last week of the month... that's when it is the busiest.
Required documents for a new license don't list a car insurance. Thus your safe bet is to bring all the documents you have. For that I keep a portfolio to fit all my papers.
Went at 4:30p on Thursday 7/17. It was fairly painless; went from reception to ID lady to cashier to photo. Everyone was working fast to go home by 5.
Good god, long lines , ambiguous genders of associates, and screaming children. Don't lose your IDs or you'll lose your mind having to get it replaced.
They are useless! Be sure to bring in every piece of mail, every ID and SS card you have. Don't forget to bring your mom, aunt, and neighbor, for verification.
Be courteous and they can be actually friendly and saved me from having to spend $95 on a new title to remove a lien.
9AM on a Wednesday - a lot of people. Just renewing license, so I only have about 12 people in front of me. Pretty efficient here.
This is a place that I think everybody goes because isn't an option many times. Usually long lines , but at least is organized .
There Special Investigations department got right to the heart of my problem and resolved it quickly!
Come at end of day. They are super efficient and fast. No government worker want to work past 5. :)
Best one ever! So fast, clean and such nice people who work there
I just got done paying with a Visa so I'm not sure what everyone is talking about.
I love this dmv because it is never crazy busy. Also it is so well organized that it cuts down your wait time. The staff is very personable.
Someone roams the parking lot checking plates. If your car isn't legit, park on the street down the block.
Go elsewhere if you need to renew your DL. This one is packed solid at all times.
They accept visa now! Never come here at the end of the month; you'll wait for sure.
If you pronounce the S in Illinois, they will make fun of you.
Please do not bring your whole family with you. Credit cards are now accepted as well .
The people are mostly nice but clueless about any detail and stuck in a rigid bureaucracy.
Don't go on Mondays. All other locations are closed so this location has lines out the door!
Website says they're open later on Wednesday. a) not true, website is out of date b) it's busy as shit on Wed
Expectant mothers and elderly get to go to the front of the line !
If you can... Do your DMV services ONLINE!
They gave automated pay stations now for renewing stickers! Remember no Visa!!
Got my new license and plate stickers in under 30 min. Fast service with mostly friendly staff
It's the DMV
This has to be the most efficient DMV in the world
Probably the most efficient DSF I've ever been to.
Printed copies of e-bills don't count as documents . Bills must be mailed paper versions.
If you're registering your vehicle, I strongly recommend using the automatic kiosk...no disgruntled people to deal with!
Come early thet are slow
Fri morning, no lines . No waiting. In & out in 10 minutes.
The cashier hates her life and yours too. Watch out!
Seemed to move fast friday around 3pm
The other faciliety did not do replacement plates!!!
They take credit cards now. The cashier Lenore is a hateful person. Beware!!!!!!
One of the best location to get your Driver's license and or State Id's
Enjoy all the smiling faces.
Listen to Primus
find out what paperwork you need online, before you come.
They charge a 2 percent service charge if you use your credit card.
don't go on a monday, there late days are Wed.till 8 pm
Be nice and they'll be nice back.
This lady next to me smells like vodka sweat.
They charge $4.00 to use credit or debit.
Takes forever
Quick service but the cashier was a raving biatch!

Smoothies??? Affordable.. Everything... Variety of fresh foods, baked goods, coffee. Love this place - Saliem
Everything is great -- Chicago-style hot dogs, super cheesies (burgers), super (fried) veggies and shakes. - Timothy Appnel
Salmon marinated with dill and lemon is a good choice! Have it with the organic asparagus . Pair with organic Bonterra wine - Sinyee Fok
