VERY Nice drivers license facility!! I didn’t have the required ID, went back home got my ID and came back. (My fault that I didn’t have the ID required) - Social Security Card - Birth Certificate (not the decorative one but the real official one) - Current Drivers license - Proof of residency / address (an electric bill, vehicle registration; something that shows that you live at the address that you say you live at). If you have a passport / VISA bring that too. Once I came back everything was completed in about 15 minutes. Thank You!

I can't say enough good things about our treasurer's department. They are super nice and helpful and they really know their business. You rarely have to wait in line and when you do, it is only for a few minutes, unlike a larger county's office. A number of the employees have been there for many years and have the answers for any questions you may have.

Went to get my passport a year ago, and the woman that was “helping” me was extremely rude and condescending. Don’t remember her name, but she had glasses, short hair and was kind of tall. If I had any other choice I would have gotten it elsewhere.

Beautifully built building. Quick and easy to get a new license didn’t have to wait long. Everyone inside was friendly.
