Book a government office appointment online instead of walking in
A ten-minute booking beats a two-hour queue. Fewer than five independent reports so far, so it is still unverified — try it and file one.
Why it works
Walk-in counters serve whoever is physically in line, so wait time depends entirely on how many people showed up before you. Slot-based booking, where it is offered, reserves a specific window and skips that queue entirely.
Did it work for you?
One report per person. This is the only thing that moves the badge — there is no like button.
