There's an online check-in portal at the BMV. I would recommend going on the BMV website before you head to the office. You can start the check-in process online, then get sent a text message instantly.
At that point, you're nearly checked in, but when you arrive in the parking lot, reply to the text message with the word HERE.
Once you've completed all of those steps, go inside and check in with the wonderful woman at the front kiosk. She'll help you out with everything and answer any questions from here.
Good luck out there and be safe out there!

Let's be honest it's like standing in line for a roller coaster but when you get to the front of the line you get out your wallet and pay the piper vs. a thrill ride.

Shout out to the manager though, cool dude that always makes the interaction a bit better if you have the pleasure to work with him.

Very efficient! Our person working counter was courteous and pleasant. She processed our renewals, explained things needed. I Retired from main office on W. Broad St. with 30 years. Husband and I forgot couple of things, but furnished what we needed, and completed everything!
