To all those who need SB100

In case you are not aware of some recommendations, here they are:

Strongly recommend going to an DMV office familiar with the SB100 process. Even if you have to travel a few hours, it may be worth it. Also, you may want to start a thread asking other members their experience with their local DMV.
The Folsom in DMV knows the SB100 process well. I showed up an hour before they opened and was 15th in line and got a number.

You may want to visit your local DMV office ahead of time and talk to the person who will be in charge of this process, see how comfortable you are with their knowledge of the process. Many clerks have no idea whats involved. Tell them your situation and what help you are looking for.

Example: In Folsom there was about 6-8 of us. The clerk called on our behalf continously untill she got through, (45-75min). She then ran all our apps. while on the phone with downtown Sac at one time. This is huge, if they hangup and recall, the numbers will be gone before everyone gets one.

Guys, this is a tag team effort. Organize ahead of time, let DMV ahead of time know how many people you expect in your group and if they will group you guys together when they finally get though on the phone. This is going to require a one on one relationship with the clerk. Most clerks will work with you once you tell them the whole story of whats involved and how long you have had to wait for this SB100 process.

Under no circumstance leave DMV if the clerk tells you to go home and we will call you once we get through on the phone.

Do not let them just call once every 5 or 10 min, you will never all get your numbers. There has to be a clerk dedicated to keep on calling till they get through. Suggest this to the clerk ahead of time during you pre-visit. Many clerks have no idea of the volume of calls this creats to the downtown office once they open this process.

GOOD LUCK!.
