Reply to comment by wishicouldcode in MVC to undo pandemic-era change at some locations. Lawmakers say it’s not enough. by storm2k

Overall my experiences at DMVs in the last two months I would rate as a B. I just did a name change and the Social Security office was the worst but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The license DMV in Randolph, took 45 minutes total most of the time processing my application (I did go early on a Saturday, no appointment necessary for a name change), so not a lot of line waiting. The vehicle DMV in Springfield took me about 20 minutes total, super fast for registration and some of that time was me filling out the correct form.

The main issue I have is that the licensing center mails you your ID now, so I had to wait 2 weeks to get my license to then go to the vehicle dmv to change my registration.

I've had worse dmv experiences pre-pandemic. And it was not nearly as bad as waiting in line for a covid vaccine.

If they process the document centrally and mail it to you then any office should be able to conduct the transaction. Going to a license center that then sends you a document printed at a remote location doesn’t make any sense.
