This is the place to go to transfer the title/registration if you buy a car/truck. There were 4 people there waiting to help me and only 1 other person who needed help. So much better than trying to register a vehicle in a big city :-).

Same as always. Except when COVID was in effect there was a man that would open door an ask what you needed . Well there's not a man now .You can go inside an conduct business as usua. Jjust remember to wear your mask ,Not only for yourself but being respectful of others. Even if you've had your COVID shot.

My address was changed (I never reported) for my vehicle. This caused the renewal notification to go to another address (a lady we supported a few years back and now lives in a different place). However, I only received the notification after it was due. I had to pay a delay fee (it was unnecessary as the address was wrong and I never reported a charge on the specific vehicle). I made sure the correct address was entered back.
