DMV's mostly went appointment only during the 2020 lunacy and most haven't gone back to normal "first come first serve".

Hope they never go back to first come first serve madness. I went to MD DMV Monday to get license and new MD tag was it was so easy. 45 min is all it took.

+1 From another Marylander who went this week. Huge improvement.

OP here. I ended up only waiting about 10 minutes w/o an appointment--not bad at all!

Re: the eye test... I definitely read that first row as if each letter were a question. A? Z? F? I?

I asked if i got them right--she said "perfect" (but it was probably more like "good enough" lol).

Fair Oaks mall location is gone. I think it moved to Braddock road somewhere. I went in July lines were bad at Westfield which was where I could find an appointment. I needed to change mine to a real ID and it expired in August anyway. Much faster to get the appointment.
