I wonder why some states are so bad with issuing licenses.

My brother got his the week after he turned 18, first time license, not a citizen. Showed up to the AZ DMV with all the documents and forms, once he passed all the tests they gave him the license that same day.

I had to get mine extended earlier this month since my permit to stay in the country was extended. The guy had to see the supervisor like 3 times (they always do that for non-citizens), once all the paperwork was done and I sat down for 20 minutes at the most, they called my name and gave me a brand new license and I was asked if I wanted to keep the old one, I got to keep the old one with a hole punched where the expiration date is. Somebody was there exchanging an out of state license and also was asked if she wanted to keep the old one or if she wanted the DMV to destroy it (she said destroy it).

Other than inefficiencies at peak times, it seems like they're pretty effective at renewing licenses, I'm never going to complain again.
