- gumby 8y agowith or without appointment?
- throwaway413 8y agoWithout an appointment. Appointments for that location are all booked a month and a half into the future.
- SamReidHughes 8y agoI did Clairemont in April, arrived at 6:45 AM, got processed pretty quickly after it opened at 8 AM. I was maybe 15-20th in line.
- mmt 8y agoThat was already 75 minutes waiting for opening (irrelevant if you were still the last person in line at opening, but I very much doubt that). How much longer before you were actually served?
- SamReidHughes 8y agoI wasn't keeping track of the actual time, so "pretty quick" is the best I can do. Probably 8:15 or 8:30-ish.
- mmt 8y agoSo 15-30 minutes (assuming you got your "start here" number tickets essentially right away after opening) according to what the DMV measures, presumably at an off-peak time, which means, for a 69 minute average, with an even distribution, there would be people waiting 108-138 minutes. Even just tacking on the 75 minutes the DMV "don't have a way to track" [1] without scaling it up, that gets 3-3.5 hours, which isn't too far off from the 4+ hour anecdata in other comments.
