Hi @Mz iMac ...

In my experience - at least in the past - Wayne is always busy.  Have you tried Randolph?  It's smaller, and very well run.


Hi @NYC Susan ........  Wayne is a bit closer to me than Randolph ... but I may just give Randolph a try.  Thanks for the info.  


You're welcome.  Depending on where you live, you may find that it's worth the trip.  Or not.  Hopefully, it will work out for you.

Re: 😠 Renewing Drivers License - N.J. 😠

I haven't lived in NJ for 17 years but I do recall going to the DMV (even back then) an all day affair usually requiring taking a day off work.  I've lived in California and now Georgia, and had to get my license and register cars in both.  California DMV, believe or not, is actually the easiest for license (except you have to retake test - UGH).  BUT, in California you can actually schedule an appointment so you don't have to wait in those long lines.  No big deal when it comes to taking picture or providing documentation.  Georgia, on the other hand, was so different.  Had to provide prove of new address with supporting documentation like bank statements, social security card, if you're marriage:your marriage license. When taking your pic, no glasses, hair behind your ears and no bangs.  YIKES!  I've had bang for 30 plus years.  So, of course, my pic came out horrible.

Yes ScapHappy what you do in Georgia is what we do in NJ since 9/11. NJ not NY was the first to issue the point system with all the docs needed plus the ones that add up add'l points.

There are several states that give out DL's or driving permits to illegal aliens, 12 states and DC.

I believe the only one in Morris County is in Randolph.  I'm pretty sure there isn't one in Morristown.

I just did a google search.  The Morristown DMV merged with Randolph in 2010.  There is only one DMV in Morris County now, and it's on Canfield Road in Randolph.  There is no longer a DMV in Morristown, and there hasn't been one there for the past 7 years.

Of course you don't hang out at the DMV.  I just think it's best to provide accurate information when we're trying to be helpful to other posters.

 

I agree about Wayne.  I would avoid the DMV there if at all possible.
