I used one recently too, and yeah, it was fast and convenient. But honestly, I did feel a bit uneasy about entering personal info in the middle of a grocery store... maybe I'm just paranoid, but I'd rather stick to the DMV website from home.
I get where you're coming from... I'm usually pretty cautious about privacy too. But honestly, those kiosks are pretty secure—probably no riskier than ordering stuff online. Still, whatever makes you comfortable is the way to go.
Yeah, I'd agree they're generally safe. I've used those kiosks a couple times myself without any issues. Still, if you're uneasy, renewing directly at the DMV or through their official website might give you extra peace of mind... always good to trust your gut on these things.
I've actually had mixed experiences with those kiosks. They're convenient, sure, but once mine glitched halfway through the renewal process and left me hanging—ended up having to call customer service anyway. Honestly, the DMV's official site has improved a lot lately; it's straightforward, secure, and you get immediate confirmation. Might be worth considering if you're feeling hesitant about the kiosks... better safe than sorry, right?
I've mostly stuck with the DMV website myself lately. Had a similar kiosk issue once—froze up halfway through, and I ended up wasting half my lunch break sorting it out. The online renewal's pretty painless now; just make sure your browser's updated and pop-up blockers aren't messing things up. Also, screenshot or save the confirmation page, just in case. Learned that one the hard way...
