From the woman who gave me a number when I first entered, to the employees who helped me register my new car and purchase new plates (Stephen and Tammy), my experience at the county clerks office today was extremely positive. Everyone was attentive, communicated clearly and thoroughly, and did so with a friendly and caring attitude. It went way beyond what I expect from a “government” office. Thank you!!

Literally every time I come here I have the best experience you could possibly ask for. Short lines, friendly people, and they always handle your request with such professionalism. This is my favorite government service in the whole world, thank you Rhonda and the rest of the team :)

This is the best place I have ever been to register my vehicle. They are very helpful and informative to any questions or issues you may have. I only wait for maybe 30 seconds before they called my number. Josh was extremely professional and helpful. They are doing a fantastic job!

Best experience I’ve ever had switching my vehicle registration to a new state. I went on a Monday about 1 pm and got in with a few minutes. Shoutout to Tiffany S. who was so pleasant & helpful. I’ve had to switch car plates several times over the last few years with moving a lot for work and this visit didn’t make me want to cry like the others did. Great staff!

The most positive car registration experience I've ever had! Arrived a little early and was finished before my appointment time officially started. Donna was awesome, helpful, and made feel like an A+ student for having all my paperwork, haha. The pre-appointment interface and emails were super helpful too. La Plata has a great system and staff here!
