Not many people know about it (so its easy to get a reservation on the next day) even though if you just read whats there its in plain sight. ~Found it on my own~ I dont think its a SECRET society, you can go to the DMV website and make a reservation in California.

Where I live in NV I always use one of the "DMV Linebuster" services. They visit the DMV for me and take care of anything I need done. It's really cheap at $20-$30 when you consider the cost of your time... I’ve given up going to the DMV. Where I live in NV I always use one of the “DMV Linebuster” services.

Just past the library on the right is a group of county annex buildings. There's a DMV office there that never has a line longer than a few people! Amazing! I go there for everything. Just don't tell anyone. I found this post kind of late, so I’m sorry I couldn’t be of help, but if you go north on Hwy 5 out of downtown Woodstock.

Remind me never to move to Pennsylvania - that's awful! Well, unfortunately, my Celtic cross earrings and membership into the driver's license society did not carry over to the license plate society. I've gotten hung up at the DMV for our van. Our van was in a car accident before we bought it; however, it looks great, runs great, and more importantly, it was the perfect size van for our son's therarpy equipment, hence the reason we bought it used. (Our mechanic also recommended it to us as well). However, for some reason, the state of Alabama issued the title to me as a "rebuilt" vehicle, therefore, the state of Georgia assumes I'm driving some kind wreck, so they won't issue a license plate without $85 worth of inspections. Further, I'm supposed to track down the original owner, have him sign a paper, plus track down the place that did the repair work five years ago in Alabama and have them sign a paper verifying their work. First, though, I'm going to try going to another DMV location and see what happens - see if I can slide it through at another office! ;-) Wish me luck! Wow!

When I officially moved to NJ from Pennsylvania, they make you retake the written test again. On top of that, my PA license was too worn by their standards, so I had to renew that one first. The steps broke down as follows: 1. Renew PA license 2. Stand in line to apply for learner's permit 3. Stand in line to pay for learner's permit 4. Stand in line to take test 5. Take test 6. Stand in line to apply for license 7. Stand in line to get picture taken 8. Stand in line to pay for license It wasn't fun. It took quite a few hours (after a number of aborted attempts). I don't understand why they pretend you're a new driver in spite of years of being licensed in another state. A friend of mine did the opposite move (NJ to PA). She simply walked into a PA DMV, handed over her NJ license, had her picture taken, and walked out with a professional looking driver's license that day (NJ's used to look like high school IDs). But congratulations on joining the secret society, that sure should help out in the future. Who keeps the metric system down? At least all you had to do was stand in line to switch over paperwork.
