My license expired in July during covid. I wanted to renew for a Real ID and needed a certified copy of my marriage certificate. I felt more safe at this location than anywhere I've been in the last 4 months! I needed an appointment and had already printed and filled out the form from their website. Upon entering the building your temperature is checked and you must where a mask. I then call the records office from outside their door and someone came and got me. She took my form and $15 and came back within 5 minutes with my certified copy. Very fast, efficient, everyone was very friendly. I was there under 15 minutes!

We got married a few months ago and the clerk who did our ceremony went above and beyond to make it so special for us, despite not being a big ceremony. My husband loves the movie Princess Bride and I wanted recreate the wedding scene for him as a surprise and, to MY OWN surprise she played the part perfectly! We were looking at the pictures again today and just wanted to say thank you all again so much! Honestly all the staff we interacted with in that office were so kind and helpful too. 📋10/10 ⭐️5 Stars 🫶 Would recommend
