This happened to me last year. Turns out the DMV had my old address on file for the title but my new address for registration. Double-check they have your correct address for BOTH. Could save you a headache.
Hot take: the whole vehicle title system is outdated AF. Why isn't this all digital by now? We can transfer thousands of dollars instantly but a car title takes weeks? Make it make sense 🤦♂️
Has anyone had luck with the online portal for reinstatement? I've been trying to avoid calling if possible.

Hey OP, just a heads up - some states are offering extensions on expiring licenses due to the backlog from COVID. Might be worth checking if that applies in your area!

•Oh wow, I hadn't even considered that. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the tip!

I feel for you! I went through the exact same thing last year. Here's what worked for me: try refreshing the appointment page every few hours throughout the day - I noticed new slots would randomly pop up when people cancelled. Also, consider looking at AAA offices if you're a member - they can do some DMV services and usually have way shorter waits. And definitely call the DMV first thing in the morning (like 8 AM sharp) - that's when I finally got through to someone who helped me find a cancellation slot. Don't give up! 🙏
