Want to get angry to the point of throwing your phone across the room? Try getting a some answer out of these low level bureaucrats. I need an expungement form please. "We don't have one of those. " How do I file for an expungement? "You must submit a completed expungement form. " Where do I get one of those? "I can't answer that. That would be giving legal advice. Try a law library or hire a lawyer." Do will any expungement form suffice? "I can't answer that. " DID ANY OF YOUR PARENTS HAVE CHILDREN THAT LIVED? These people are here to serve the public. They seem to have forgotten that. They put themselves above those who serve and act like they are they keepers of the kingdom. They all need to be replaced.

Helpful friendly staff. And absolutely beautiful interior design. Stately marble walls, beautiful hand painted murals. And the best part was no wait for a CCW license.

Great place to get your title transferred. Secure/safe facility and parking lot with a friendly and helpful staff. The wait wasn't very long and the building is full of history with unique architectural details. The BMV is within walking distance, making everything accessible and convenient.
