It was pretty seamless for me at Bayonne DMV. Took maybe 1hr total. Altho, DMV is not something I go on a whim, it needs some planning if you want it to be seamless. You need a certain number of ID and proof of address. I had my ID, SS card, birth certificate, I do paperless bills usually so I printed out a bank statement from my bank.
This chart was helpful in showing what documents are required. https://www.state.nj.us/mvc/realid/pdf/26.pdf
The hard part for me was just getting the appointment.

The address verification is definitely tricky. I brought my letters from bank and and property tax postcard. One says Apt, one says #, the lady firmly rejected them because that's not the same address according to her. I was lucky to have another one showing Apt and she accepted it. I'd imagine a normal person would understand there is no material difference between the two and most of times, whoever sends those letters has their own address formatting system to show the "correct" address in their mind.
