Take the second option!
June 21, 2024

The second, or video, option worked easily; there was a bit of a wait, but not too long for an actual human to appear, who looked you in the eyes to determine if you looked like the photo on your driver's license. The first option, the self-service one, had numerous malfunctions, which nearly drove me nuts. (Not that I have that far to go!)
