The clerk who assisted me was very empathetic and helpful during a difficult time. At one point she even sat with me and helped me fill out the necessary paperwork.

Typically a long wait today was a surprise. In I walked , got my new registration and out I went. A refreshing surprise. Had an older vehicle so I was able to get forever plates. Last time I will have to see them for this vehicle. The benefits of buying old I guess.
