Something I'll just add about the DMV experience is that as others have said, it's by appointment. But when you go to book an appointment online, the availability could look pretty bleak depending on the DMV you picked and what you selected as your reason for the appointment.

If that's the case, just pick the soonest appointment and check back on a daily basis. I've had instances where I had to book 30 days out and then checked the next day only to find they'd opened up a bunch of time slots 7 days out.

Make sure your appointment is only for the kind of service you're needing. Don't select a different reason for the appointment in hopes of getting a better time slot.

And just do you know, after this initial change from a CA to a CT license, much of your future DMV business can be done online or, if you’re a member, at AAA. Welcome to CT from this native Nutmegger.

I'll add to this. Pick an early morning time slot. The later you get in the day, the more likely it is that they will be running late.

Gotcha, thanks for the heads up! I’ll definitely look at getting appointments once it gets closer to my move date.
