Titles, registration and plates are not done at Decatur or any DDS center: they belong to the Department of Revenue's county tag office, and the county tag office guide says which errand goes where.

DDS asks every customer visiting Decatur to complete its online license, ID or permit form before the visit, the note it puts at the top of the center's page, and takes cash, major cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the counter.
