Here in the Commonwealth of Virginia you theoretically only have to go
to the DMV when first obtaining a Drivers License or when first
registering a vehicle. Almost everything else can be done over the
internet or at strategically placed ATM like machines. In fact, I was
able to get on the net yesterday, update my current address, and have
new Drivers License and vehicle registration cards (with the new
address) mailed to me. Normal delivery time is under 5 days by US
Snail.
It really is a convenient service and actually makes the lines a lot
shorter for the rare occasions when you do have to be physically
present.

Heh Heh, I live in a small town. The wait at DMV
is never more than
5-10 mins. No stop lights either.
Well, Munich is supposed to be a large city, still the
waiting line is usualy less than 10 Minutes (*1) And
best of all, they changed the line policies some time
ago: As soon as you reachend the counter once, and you
have to go for another counter, like paying a fee, you
may jump the line when you return. So only one waiting,
followed by a real express handling. It's a totaly new
feeling.
