Welcome to PA.

It is all corruption. These systems have been developed over decades through kickbacks and bribes to make sure as many people as possible get their hands in your pocket. People from here that have never lived outside of PA and still live a few miles from where they were born think this is all normal and OK. I'm sure they will be along shortly to tell me how wrong I am.

Fine. It's corrupt. But can't it be corrupt more efficiently?

Take my money but don't take entire weekdays from me.

You can say all that about everything but the state safety and emissions inspections. Those are there to make sure your vehicle isn’t a death trap that will kill other people on the road. As far as dmv/tag/notary bs it is bs.

Yeah, because why should all the potholes and backward traffic patterns have all the fun?

But in seriousness, I'm less upset about maintenance automotive checks; it's just that it's compounded with a bunch of nonsense.

Don’t worry about it, I don’t understand why the dmv doesn’t handle tags. Seems like the place for it.

The DMV doesn't handle tags because some legislator's brother in law owns a chain of "instant auto tags" shops.

I go to Penndot in harrisburg, luckily I'm local to harrisburg area, and I get everything done and walk out with a license plate. 2hr drive might be worth it to you.
