Majority of the Employees here are really rude & unprofessional.
You greet them and all they do is stay quiet.
Never coming back here again.
And not to mention the lady that took my picture greeted the person in front of me all nice and when I got there and greeted her she stayed quiet, and was rude the whole entire time I was there.

I really don't recommend this dmv. All the employees are rude. You greet them to be kind and ask about their day and they never say anything back. You get completely ignored which is unprofessional. My daughter went to take the written test.when she finished this latina worker took her test and didn't check her test correctly. She flipped through each page so fast and didn't check anything off. She was completely rude.When my daughter asked her if she could see her test to see which ones she got wrong she ignored her and said to come back another day. Later to find out they're supposed to check off the test and carefully check it which wasn't done at this dmv. I myself have an experience here too when u took my test this worker was so rude in the testing room.

Very well organized, well run, and quick service. On top of that, I went on a Monday morning and it wasnt mind numbingly busy. Well done Compton 👏🏾
Perhaps the fact that most people might avoid this branch simply because it is in Compton, is it'd greatest asset as a DMV location.

Biggie Watts | Aug 20, 2019
Theresa Vongsakoun | Aug 20, 2019
That won't work. You need your SSN card, birth certificate or green card/citizenship with 2 forms of address. This is what was needed for the real driver license or ID card. Good luck!

My license was stolen. Can I get it replaced with out an appointment?
LaWanda B | Aug 20, 2019
Theresa Vongsakoun | Aug 20, 2019
You need to do a police report then take that to dmv to get a replacement. No appointment needed. Had that happened to me but quick tip if your Registration is due pay it as you cannot use the registration paper dmv sent in the mail once they give you new license plate. You have to go in person to pay the registration fee. Hassle but I learned my lesson as no one told me til I went to pay at kiosk and it didn't work. Had to wait again in line to pay Registration on different day though.
