Key findings Overall the Registration Service is well regarded by its customers. In the main all service aspects score highly, with
most respondents rating the elements as either very or fairly good. There are a limited number of opportunities to improve the service and improve further the levels of satisfaction experienced by users.

Customers of the service visit the offices during times of very different emotions from the very highest to the very lowest. Across all groups the service they receive seems appropriate to their needs within the framework of this questionnaire. It is more the physical, tangible elements of the experience that require an improvement.

The results show a small number of key areas to improve the Service. The main areas to improve the service are:
* the parking facilities for customers;
* the opening hours of the office;
* the promptness of the appointment times; and
* the physical environment of the office where customers are seen.
