In an effort to avoid the long lines and waiting times of the DMV, I decided to go online to see what I could accomplish.

Honestly so far the process has been pretty easy and convenient. I was able to put in a pre-application for a driver's license and the site thoroughly went over all the paperwork I would need to bring in.

Word to the wise? If you need to visit the DMV, schedule your appointment online ASAP.
