I should have gone online to renew my driver’s license, but I didn’t want to pay the additional fee.
Waiting at the tax collector’s office was a pain in the neck.
I remember back in the days when there was a separate DMV office that was by itself. When the city decided to cut costs, they merged the DMV in the tax collectors into one single office. That means the same number of agents are dealing with twice the number of clients on a day-to-day basis. If you’re going for DMV services you have to wait for the people who are there for the tax collector. And if you’re there for the tax collector, you have to wait with the people who are there for the DMV services instead. It can get really crazy especially if you go right after 4:00 p.m. It’s also bad during lunch time between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. I’m happy that I don’t have to go to any physical offices to renew my medical marijuana card. I don’t even have to send in any applications to the state like I used to. It’s completely automated on the internet. You simply pay a fee and confirm that your information is the same as before, otherwise you update it with your new address or phone number. After they confirm your records with the state DMV, they issue you a temporary card that you can print out and present at a cannabis dispensary. Your brand new card arrives in the mail several weeks later. It’s an easy process from the beginning, however I wish the state allowed us to renew our medical marijuana cards once every 2 years instead.
