Anybody go to a Secretary of State office??

Post by km1125 » Wed Sep 16, 2020 12:05 pm

Been trying to get into a SOS office to change a title but can't seem to get an appointment. The "next day" ones always seem booked up and if you schedule the earliest I can find anywhere close to here is in JAN 2021.

Anyone else have better luck? What was your solution?

I don't need to go there until January. Both the plates and my license expire then.
Maybe I should make the appointment now.

You can renew plates online as well as a standard driver license every other renewal. So if you renewed at an SOS last time and you don't need an enhanced license you can renew the driver license online.

Thankfully, I got my license renewed at the end of February right before the pandemic.

My son got his Level 2 graduated license in July. A few weeks after we bought a car through a private sale and had to transfer the title. Both required in-person appointments at the local SOS branch. Luckily we were able to schedule both appointments fairly quick using the next-day option on the website. I liken it to playing whack-a-mole. You check back every half-hour or so to see if there are any cancellations, and hope you can grab an appointment before someone else beats you to it. Suffice to say I learned how to type really fast. :razz

Had to renew a plate on another vehicle, so I just did that one online. Sticker's in the mail.

Appointments are unsatisfactory. It makes efficient visits to save time impossible. And you can't even get a person at the actual office to talk to on the phone. You even have problems finding the location of the kiosks online if you try.

I was actually able to get an appointment for this morning, using the next-day appt schedule. As Calvert says, it's a bit of a whack-a-mole operation, but they make the new appointments available at 8AM and noon each day. I set up alarms so I would be ready just before they went online and started clicking away. Only took a couple days to be successful and get one scheduled..

They do differentiate from "one transaction" and "two or more transactions". I technically had two to do, but only one was critical. Thinking I might have a better chance with the "one transaction" selection, I used that. I brought all the docs for both though and she processed both quickly (they were easy ones). I got there about 15 minutes early but was done in 15 once I got inside so the whole process was a 30 min duration - not bad for a trip to the SOS office!!
