Build a timelineA useful rule of thumb
Use the office that owns the last step.
State driver license offices handle most license visits. County offices register vehicles, issue marriage licenses, record deeds, value property, and collect local tax. The guide for your task points to the right handoff, so you do not have to guess which office to call.
