Wants an Real ID so they can do things!
Appointment for a new Real ID identification card
As soon as possible, but at a nearby DMV
Wordy instructions, notifications
Unclear category and classification
Hard to find the nearby DMV location
Disordered logic of making and scheduling an appointment, and personal information and choosing a location and time
The original categories messed the types of services and the processes dealing with them.
In my design, I seperated the sevices and the processes into two steps, which descreased the time and efforts for users to find what they need.
Add zip code or city to the searching bar, map version and link addresses to the map to provide a more precise location reference.
The earlist available time shown on the first page to avoid extra clicks.
More options of time slots on one overlays to choose from.
Change the sequence of choosing location and filling in personal information, to save more time and avoid situations when users fill in personal information then find out there is no available spots.
Confirmation by email, text or phone call after making the appointment.
