Since when do you have to have 2 proofs of residence to renew your tags? The lady was very rude for no reason and refused to let me renew them without it. I've been driving for 12 years and I've never been told this...

Went in to renew DL, and make it RealID. Was in and out in about 5 minutes. Knowledgeable people work here, and there wasn't a line!
