Third time is the charm!

Yesterday I got all gussied up in my dress, cover up, and tennis shoes (😂) and headed over to the satellite government office in Simpson Bay.  This is located right across from McDonalds on Airport Road at the fish market. Upon arrival you enter the reception area to your left.  There, a digital device signs you in and you receive a number.  Since I’d never used this device before the ladies behind the counter talked me through it.  They were very nice.  Of note, I paid more attention to the clothing requirement sign this time, you must have covered shoulders, no shorts, open toe shoes, or hats 👍🏻

Once you receive your number you head out to the waiting area where there are plenty of seats.  The security guard will call your number and you head upstairs to the cashier office.  You’ll need your car registration, bill of sale, inspection, and proof of insurance.  No copies needed, they just need to put their eyes on them.  The cashier will enter your information and you pay her, USD $162.50.  If you go to the satellite office you don’t get your tags right away.  I have to go back on Friday to pick them up.

Overall, not a bad experience once I got the clothing thing right, lol!  There were 11 people ahead of me once I sat down with my number.  The entire process, from obtaining my number to paying and leaving, was 1 hour exactly.

Next up, car inspection, due December 2019.
