Recent experience with the DMV in my state, was that to transfer my license and registration into that state (which is a customer acquisition problem, BTW) required me to book a month ahead of time in their online system, which even then resulted in me having to drive to an office that was the fourth-nearest to my residence.

So "YMMV".

I have literally never experienced anything that even approaches that level of nonsense in the private sector.

No it isn't. You already drive, have a car, and live in the state. What are they acquiring you to? They're just integrating you into their servicing platform. That's customer service.
