Trust & Transparency

DMV Wait Watch is built on one core belief: your time matters, and so does the truth.

  • ✅ All wait times are real. If there are no recent reports for an office, we’ll tell you — we never generate or fake data.
  • ✅ Privacy respected. We do not track personal data, appointments, or require signups to report wait times.
  • ✅ Community-powered. Every wait time you report helps someone else — and vice versa.

You can help by reporting wait times after your DMV visit and sharing this site with others. With enough contributors, we all win.
