My son just did it in person and had to make two trips, one to drop it off and one to pick it up. The forms are on the Internet, you fill it all out then it prints (you can't save it and edit it etc.). But your right it wasn't just one trip.
Then to make matters worse there are specific times to drop it off and specific times to pick it up. IIRC the pickup was after 3:30pm just in time for rush hour traffic.
And somewhere I read no exceptions, so they don't seem to be very flexible.
