Whew ! Managed to get my DL renewed today. Got there at 630. Tickets were given at 730. Mine was 139th and was asked to come at 1045 or after receiving the 2nd text message which says that your turn is about to come. Went home had breakfast. Didn't get the text until 1030 so decided to go to MVC anyway. Had to wait another 30 mins for the text. Once in it took just 10 mins and was a breeze. Make sure you do your homework on the documents and don't expect any help there. Also keep your documents handy as the staff has very little patience and expect super fast reflexes and action from everyone. Worst you might get even yelled at. The guy in front of me forgot his DL in the car and had it from the man who is now famous on these reviews. Though it's understandable given the nature of the job and the kind of questions I heard people asking him. Don't expect spoon feeding here. Again do your homework.

Tip: If you don't mind making multiple trips I would suggest get your sleep and arrive there between 730 and 8am. Get you ticket without much wait unlike the campers and you will be called at 1245pm. If you do not wish to come back then get there at 5-530 and ensure your ticket number is 2 digits preferably on the lower side.

ALSO the MVC is Jersey City has stopped doing DL renewals so had to go to Bayonne. Please check the website of the center you plan to go to ensure the right services are available.

Also social distancing is easy unless you have idiots around you. The only people you will be relatively closer are the folks ahead and behind you while waiting in the line. The MVC office itself will allow very handful of people inside at a time to ensure social distancing and avoid crowding.
