Type: | New Application | Submitted: | Oct. 6, 2009 | | Total Time Taken: | 7 days | Total Payment: | 60 |
Process: | Went to the Probate Court Office and signed into the log at the window on the right wall of the room and picked up an application.
Came back a few days later with my Drivers license, Vehicle registration(proof of residence), Birth Certificate(Proof of Citizenship), completed application, and $60 (cash, I think they take money order and check but can't remember).
The woman behind the counter was very considerate and took me immediately through the door to take my fingerprints (virtual IE no ink).
One week later to the day I got my license in the mail! It was all very hassle free and surprisingly quick. |

Type: | New Application | Submitted: | Jul. 29, 2010 | | Total Time Taken: | 8 days | Total Payment: | $75 |
Process: | Go to the 3rd floor via the elevators. Take a left, then a right and it's the 2nd door on your right. The probate court mainly does marriage and gun licenses. The staff was attentive to me and waited until I completed my packet. Upon finishing the packet, the clerk took my paperwork, money ($75 cash or money order only) and IDs (passport, drivers license and recent water bill). Less than 5 minutes later she came back with my change and receipt. Then she ushered me back to the fingerprint scanner in the back of the office. She scanned my right 4 fingers (excluding the thumb) then the left 4 fingers. Then she scanned my right thumb, then the left. Lastly she scanned every finger, one by one, by rolling them on the scanner. No ink was used, but I did have to use a quick wipe to make my hands very clean before we started scanning. Again all this was less than a few minutes. I was then free to go. This was Tuesday July 20th. My license arrived in the mail on Wednesday July 28th; just over a week. The max time is 60 days. Overall a great experience! |
