Tips for Shorter Wait Times
Go Early
Arrive when doors open at 8:30 AM (9:30 on Wednesdays). The first hour typically has the shortest waits.
Best Days: Tue-Thu
Mondays and Fridays are busiest. Mid-week visits typically have shorter lines.
Mid-Month is Best
Avoid the first and last week of each month when people rush to renew.
Skip the Lunch Rush
11 AM - 1 PM is peak time. Arrive before or after this window.
Bring Your Documents
Double-check you have everything. Nothing wastes more time than coming back.
