When I moved up here and said I had to get my drivers license people literally laughed at me and said ‘best of luck.’ 

This whole ordeal started when I decided to change my insurance to my current location. I was told I had 15 days to register my car or my Florida license would be revoked.  Immediately, off I went to take care of this only to be told you cannot register your car unless you have a NC drivers license.

I’m not sure how the DMV ended up this way. People say it’s the fault of legislature. I’ll have to dig into that but if you have some insight please let me know.

People blame the Governor but he just got elected and quite recently he called for cross-government partnership to improve customer experience. It’s not his fault at all and kudos to him for wanting to fix it.

This post is not about blame. Its about trying to be helpful until the issue can be resolved.

Lastly, I just need to say this- every person I dealt with could not have been kinder. 

The first day I showed up was right after I was told I could not register my car without a nc license. When I was in the title office this guy came in and told me to go immediately because no one was there (They are both in the same shopping center.) I ran over there and was indeed in the process of getting my license when there was a glitch. 

It took me about a week to get my glitch straightened out. I went back on the third and the sign was out that they were full. I went back on the seventh and they were closed because we had a bad storm and there was no electricity. I went back on the eighth and it was filled. I went on the ninth and was told I could come back at four. I came back at four and was told I may or may not will be seen and there were many people in front of me. Then one of the nice ladies that worked there told me how to do this. She said I had to come back at  4:30 am and bring a chair. I decided to listen. This may not be what I wanted to do but what I had to do. 

Off I went to buy a chair.

I did wake up at four and made it there around five. There were about 15 people in front of me. By 6:30 there were at least 100 people in line. Around 6:30 staff showed up. Not their first rodeo! Everyone got in line. We all went in to sign in and get our number. Then we were free to go sit in our cars while they were in touch via text message. At this time you can see how many people are in front of you. Then, when there were 10 people in front of me I was texted to go sit in the lobby and then I waited for about an hour.

I was a total wreak but happy to report this mission was a total success!

If you have any other suggestions let me know! Thanks!
