One thing... We were told that you need a marriage certificate to prove that you (wife) are who you are, since you (may have) changed your name when you got married. My friend waltzed in without that and was turned away. So I made sure we had that (much searching through our papers) only not to be asked for it.

However, while we were waiting, another couple was turned away because they didn't have it. If you have changed your name when you got married, I would take the marriage license.

car registration: make sure you have your release of lien letter if you have paid off your car. If you had a loan for the car, you have to have this, or a title that is free and clear and lists no lienholder. Also, they will not go outside to verify your VIN if it is raining. So be prepared to wait if that's the case.

Otherwise, they are pleasant and efficient. You take a number. There is a man there who will make sure you have everything needed before you begin the wait for your number to come up. Take some reading material or your iPad. We were there early afternoon, and waited about 20 minutes. They said it's much more crowded in the winter months.
