The trip to DMV in Fremont, CA proved to be a very smooth one, contrary to my expectations. I went there to register my new address (finally!) after learning that DMV’s fine for failing to notify them of an address change within 10 days has increased to a whopping $214! DMV did say that the fine may be reduced with proof of correction…but still.
As I entered the DMV office, there were long lines cutting across different directions. All windows were loaded with lines of people who seemed to have accepted the long wait ahead of them. I scrambled to look for the window with the sign “START.” In 5 minutes, I was talking to the DMV person at the window, gave her the completed form, and she gave me back a card. That completed my task, mission accomplished, no need to get in another line. That was quick and easy!
Of course, after that, I found out that the change of address could be completed online. Oh well…it was fun anyway!
