To add insult to injury, the DMV in my area is only open Tues and Wed from 8-5. How am I supposed to go if I have to work?  

When I go to the Clerk's Office to get something......if I can actually leave with what I came for.....on the first try.....I feel like I have scored a major victory.

When I went to get the title for the Honda, it was coming into Kentucky from Ohio.  I went to the Sheriff's Department and had the bike inspected to confirm the VIN and mileage, and that went great as the clerk was a Honda Goldwing rider up until his leg went bad - I could tell he would still have liked to own a bike.  I then went to the Clerk's office with a copy of the add for the bike that showed a $ 3,500 purchase price, a signed and notarized Bill of Sale from the lady selling the bike, the signed and notarized Ohio title that had the mileage and sales price listed on the back, and my proof of insurance card.  The clerk could not accept that $ 3,500 was the sale price, as it was not on the OFFICIAL KENTUCKY form.....she could only accept the selling price if I was going to take the OFFICIAL KENTUCKY FORM and have it filled out with the $ 3,500 price and notorized.....same as the lady selling the bike to me had already done twice on the BILL of Sale and Ohio Title.  Knowing that I could not contact the previous owner on a Saturday, and that once I did get in touch with her the traveling and getting to a Notary was going to take at least 2 hours....I told the License Clerk I would just pay the taxes on whatever they had as a "Blue Book" price.  She then attempted to find it online.....and could not find my bike.   I kept showing her that it was an ST1100....she kept asking for a name like Volusia, or Shadow....it took me a while to find out she thought my bike was a Cruiser and was not looking for a Touring bike.  The Book price was a bit over $ 4,000 and it cost me another $ 30 in taxes - but I was able to go riding with a legal license and registration that same day!

The clerks work hard and are always pleasant here.....They just can't do anything if it isn't on that form.  I am having the same problem with that  little Honda S65 I bought from an estate sale.  I got a signed copy of the title, and a bill of sale for $ 500 with the court order that orders the sale for the settlement of the estate - but NO....I have to have them fill in the mileage and sale price on that stupid KY form......so it has taken several months to get that process through the attorneys and Executor of the Estate.

Try going just a few minutes before closing, They want to go home so they get busy. I disconered the speed of the line increased dramatically at 4:45 back when we all had to go get our license plates at the3 same time,

Move from SC to OK; 2 trucks needed titles transferred state to state, plus veterans discount applied which required extra paperwork and processing, new tags; 15 relaxed minutes in local office  (locally owned private contract office)
3 bikes needed titles transferred state to state, new tags, 15 relaxed min. sitting in a cushioned chair in front of her desk chatting about the "goings on" in the town.
Very calm & laid back here but the services are quite efficient in Morris OK.

It has been pretty much this way with everything here in Morris.  It is a very small town.  Not only does everyone know everyone, but almost half of the town is related.  So it's like taking care of family.  Overall the services in this little town have been very efficient and pleasant.
