Generally the extra fee is to cover electronic payment processing fees levied by 3rd party payment processors. States are also generally not allowed to eat the cost because you'd be taking money out of the "pockets" (paid taxes) of people that chose to show up and pay in person. Tax collectors in other municipalities and states all charge similar fees.

That said, $6.00 is insane and way over priced. Someone should get around to auditing that department and figure out who they're using as a payment processor.

If you go to the DMV go about 10 min before they close. I didn’t realize that they have a legit armed security guard come and lock the door. People were being crazy. Trying to sneak in as customers opened the door to leave. People were pounding on the doors. The security guard was yelling at people.

Think of your $6 as a ticket to a show. Maybe bring a snack.
