It's a joke, they pretend to care but actually they look at you as a problem to dispose of as quickly as possible. Just a job creator for people that couldn't make it in the private sector.

Horrible service! Went to just get tabs and stood in line for 20mins before I left on a time limit (work). Something that should of took 5 minutes. As I’m standing there they are closing windows and not helping people. Stopped in today and they have a line of 20 people and 2 out of the 4 windows have help. And still have yet to have any help

Brought my son here for his driving test. Aren't masks required in all government buildings? I did not see even one employee wearing a mask. Not saying that no employees were since obviously I didn't see them all.

If I could give zero stars to the county licensing center, I would. We wasted $40 on gas and two days driving around all over as they told us one by one, each visit, which we needed next. This was after they told us we didn’t need the original document we told them we didn’t have because the DMV in another county took it. They were very rude and obviously hate their jobs. If there was any other way we could get our son a permit, we would have took that option. Just completely the most unprofessional bunch of people I’ve ever had to deal with, so disappointed.

Nobles County, MN Courthouse (#60 visited ch): Not sure if I like this buildings design. The curved stone parts feel a bit random and the building doesn't really have a distinct front. At least it's not boring
