DMV office
Registration renewal destination
A DMV office is a local branch of the Department of Motor Vehicles, the state agency that handles driver's licenses, vehicle registration, and related paperwork.
DMV offices are notorious for long waits, confusing forms, and bureaucratic frustration: I spent three hours at the DMV office just to renew my license.
The phrase is sometimes used as shorthand for any tedious government errand.
