I was then told to sign a blank check and I would be contacted in 24 to 48 hours. They called the next day with my registration completed.

The people were polite and patient. The PROCESS is insane. I spent about 2 hours in the lobby along with a bunch of other folks to get it done.
This was our second experience in FL. The first time - pre COVID - we got a drivers license , 1 car registered, and registered to vote. In and out with everything in hand in less than an hour at the office in TV on 466.

The CURRENT system is screwed up but they are normally very efficient at the office on 466 in TV. Not sure why they are still closed.
