DMV

For a DMV, not bad place to come. Can’t believe I am giving 4 stars to a DMV. However, if you have to go to one, the people here are super nice.
Get here early if you are testing. If they don’t call you by 4:00, you won’t be able to.
Also, cash or check only. There is an ATM if you need one.

Whoever thought going to the DMV would be enjoyable!!! The line was fast and everyone was so helpful and happy. I was in and out in an hour despite having a lot to take care of. Wow. Could not believe it!

Ok. This place has none of the charm of the old N Portland location that was so very convenient, and it’s located in a strip mall, but it’s really not so bad. The DMV has come a long way since the days of yore when you stood the whole time and it took a while! It’s bright, the folks here are friendly and helpful (Andre was my favorite today). The wait was minimal, only a couple minutes in line on my feet (which is new and seems unnecessary). But all in all, a not unpleasant time at the dmv.

This is the nicest and friendliest DMV I have ever been to. Everyone is helpful and cheerful. I was in and out in no time. I recommend going there early Monday morning.

DMVs can be horrible places. I’ve been in many, in different states too. This location is probably the best option in Portland. Shortest wait times, cleanest facility, and nicest staff. I give this place 4 out of 5 only because a DMV just cant get 5 stars… it’s painful no matter what.
Nonetheless this place and the employees make it as easy as it gets. Go here instead of the other locations if you’re in PDX.

Well, it’s the DMV. Two hour wait, rude and incompetent employees and inconsistent with their «rules» every time I come here.

I live in NW Portland but had to drive up to NE for a DEQ check for my vehicle which took around 25 min with the traffic. Was hoping to complete my registration right after at this DMV as i just moved to Portland and got off work a little early to get this done. I got there at 5.01pm (no exaggeration) and as they close at 5:00pm they refused to serve me. Their doors were open and they barely had anyone left. Yes i was 1min late and yes this is the DMV but decent establishments (and people) can make an exception. These people were not only non sympathetic but down right rude about it and told me to get out. I would say i hope karma bites these people but judging by their attitude it seems it already has.

For a DMV, this place is wonderful!
I walked in and saw that it looked open, clean, modern, and surprisingly friendly.
You take a number, sit down, and wait to be called up in batches of 5. You can go to the information desk after you get your number but before getting in line to make sure you have all your paperwork in order. The woman at the information desk looked very nice and friendly but I didn’t go see her. The only confusing part is that the ticket says «take a seat» instead of telling you to double check your paperwork/​documents with the info desk.
After waiting about 15 – 20 minutes, I was called up to wait in line. The line took about 5 minutes. The first person that helped me was quiet but not a drone (like I’ve seen at most DMV’s) — she was nice.
I took the test and met with another really nice guy! Then, when I went to take my photo, the picture woman was really sweet and was even joking around. Got my new license set and was out of there pretty quickly.
I think this is the first time I have ever had a pleasant DMV experience. My expectations were pretty low, but I would recommend this location to others!

Had a great experience here! They line you up to make sure you have the proper documents before you stand in the longer line to see an agent. Everyone was pleasant and curteous.
