I went by the state-run MVD, 20 people in line for the license thing and the guy at the desk told me 30-45 minutes. I wanted to laugh in his face.
I went to the private owned MVD Express and there was one guy in front of me finishing up getting his new license. I was still there like 7 minutes. No way in HELL that the regular MVD was only a 30 minute wait. Paid an $18.33 premium for it, though.
And whatever moron is in charge of NM Taxation & Revenue Dept. (Jan Goodwill or something) won't allow more private ones to open until the state-run office improve . Yeah, make sure the work load is high and hope business improves while adding no new facilities or anything...good job.
Las Cruces has, arguably, the busiest MVD office in the state yet they haven't expanded in years.
I bet the person in charge of our Taxation & Revenue dept. graduated from a NM school
