Dallas County Government Center

Very nice and friendly staff. I have only been here for vehicle registration. The line could get long, but it goes quickly. Oh, if you know you live in Dallas County, but one of the staff tells you it might be Collins or whatever else, be patient and ask them to check again. Last year I lived at the same place, came here to get my registration, didn’t have any problem. This year, I was told my zip code belongs to Collins County. The zip code is 75 287 btw, and it’s right on the borderline of 2 counties. Eventually she agreed with me that yes, the address belongs to Dallas County.
Also, make sure you bring cash, if you don’t want to get charged for using debit/​credit card. The fee is min $ 3.5 up to 2% I believe.

It’s a court house. Easy to find. You go in. Pay your stuff. In our case, we got hitched. Minor civil offenders clap for you, you raise the roof. Then you head on out. Easy peasy.

Least helpful workers here… people take breaks every 20 min. and I know bc I’ve been in line longer than that. paper signs on the wall from the 90s saying photo machine broken.

Came here to renew my passport
Although extremely understaffed, Dallas County Government Center was fairly quick with service :-) 8 People were in front of me but i was able to get my passport renewed during my lunch break
Keep up the good service

they were really nice and helpful.
BUT they don’t do expedite passport, so they led me to the one in commerce.
THEYRE NOT OPEN ON ONE CERTAIN DAY, I DONT REMEMBER.
I would call just in case.
They also don’t do passport photos, but no problem! walgreens/​cvs is across the road.
If you’re down for the wait $ 110 for the passport that will arrive to a month or two.

This is the most ass backward place in the world. Came here to get a marriage license. The door you see in the picture has a sign pointing to a separate room for marriage licenses. However, the guy doing the licenses told us we had to go back and stand in line so we could be «told» to go into the room. Pointless. So the room
Is empty and we still just have to wait to go in which makes no sense if there’s nobody in there. All the people in the line are waiting mostly for passports. The signs are very misleading.

Only about a 30 minute wait, not bad for a government office.
It’s best to talk to the person at the information desk, they can look at what you have and give you an idea if anything is missing. There’s nothing more annoying then waiting two hours in line and getting turned down, only to have to return later.

If you need to register your car from out of state, this place is perfect. The lady at the information desk was really helpful. She explained everything clearly and Loud lol
The line wasn’t too bad. The staffs are friendly
Highly recommended.

The location’s a little confusing to get into, but just follow the signs. It’s just north of the shopping plaza at the corner.
I came at 11AM on a Friday to renew my vehicle registraton. I only waited about 5 – 10 minutes in line, and it was a breeze after that. I was probably in and out within 15 min. Remember to bring a check or cash, otherwise there’s a 2−3% fee for credit cards.

The good: like every other government office, if you do everything you’re supposed to, the experience is consistent. The woman at the info desk was helpful. Everyone was working quickly.
The bad: like every other government office, you will be spoken to like an idiot at least once and someone will probably ask you to do something that doesn’t make sense. The lines are a maze.
The interesting: plates are only $ 7, that’s pretty cheap!
