Decent service and good facility. I came here to transfer my license from another state without an appointment and waited about 20 minutes. If you are a minor or are bringing a minor make sure you have the correct documents that represent them and your relationship to the minor. They were pretty well organized and most staff were friendly and cooperative. Wait times can vary but be prepared to wait for a while. I advise if possible fill out any applications online and bring your confirmation code. Also look up necessary documents and always be ready to provide more just in case some are unacceptable. Don't be afraid to ask staff or other customers for clarification of where to go because some staff are not very clear with instructions. Try to keep a kind and patient attitude even if staff don't reciprocate.

Its was actually good except for the mens restroom no door handle waited for hours and it was locked somebody should do something about that waited for hour for the restroom but i don't think anyone was in there

Much, much better than my earlier years past experiences. Now, w/out appt, I was in & out w/in an hour. Plus no trouble finding parking.
Suggestion: Bring your check book or cash. Check cards are accepted as "credit", therefore, a card fee is added on. I had to pay an extra $10+. 🥺😕. Yes. Lesson learned.

I scheduled an appointment to get my real id and renew my license at the Westminster DMV. 3 different people waited on me and they all did a great job. There were lots of people who didn’t have appointments and so it was very busy for them. My total time there was just under an hour because of my appointment. My experience was efficient.
i went here first week of august 2018 I went around 2pm and called me when they about to close when they about to close I look to my left there still more people sitting there waiting
Yes I was there the other and stood in line outside for 3 hours and even though I was there at 2 because I wasn't inside by 4:30 and signed in to take the permit test I had to come back the next day. Didn't matter that I was there well before the 4:30 cut off time. I was so mad!
I was at DMV twice because of missing documents, to get real ID (to fly nationwide) you have be in person and bring 3 things : Passport, SS Card, and Bank Statement or Auto Insurance. If just regular ID (cannot fly), can do online. DMV will not set appointment for test, must stand in line, best time is before 3PM because they turned me away first time.
Hello, I have an appointment on Jul,23 but I got a text message on Jul,6th telling me that my appointment is on Jul,7th but I didn't see the message . So what should I do?

Yes they are free of charge. You just state that you need the senior I.D. card.
Yes, making an appointment can speed things up if you can wait. If you have to, then go there early before it opens and you will be the 1st group of people to get in.
How soon should you make an appointment to renew your driver's license?
Harold & Lea Crozier | Jun 20, 2022
MC York | Jul 20, 2022
Your drop dead day is your birthday. Westminster DMV is rather quick. I never make appts. Just walk up to "No Appt" line, they'll help you. Or do it online. Don't forget, only cash & checks don't involve fees. All cards, even check cards are handled as credit cards, w/fee added on to your transactions. 😜
Do you have study guide booklets for drivers lisense
Yes, they accept "walk Ian's", but then you'll sit and wait. Schedule an appt. and check in out front, where they approve your documents for the "Real ID". They also offer a driver's license, but you cannot use it to fly, train, etc.
Would I be able to go in with my mom or is only one person allowed in line?
Yes you can make an appointment for anything actually that actually have to do with you know your ID or driver's license your car registration anything like that
DMV is open for appointment, especially very convenient to book an appointment online. So easy to make it by "Get in line" on their website. Good luck 🤞!
What time DMV will be open tomorrow?
3-3-21

Miguel Gonzalez | Aug 19, 2021
Danny Rocket | Aug 19, 2021
Earlier is better. I'm not sure about exact hours but they start to wrap things up some time before 5 so I suggest being there between 8am and 2pm the latest because 3pm is when it starts to get crowded. (Speaking from experience)
do you take walk in today
Dora Saravia | Aug 19, 2021
Claudia Quinteto | Aug 19, 2021
I'm not an employee, but that's all they are taking is walk ins.
Yes, a moving permit (CVC 4002) must be obtained prior to driving your vehicle to a smog inspection station. The moving permit can be obtained for free from the DMV, but your registration fees must be paid-up.
If you try to make an appointment it will be at least 3 to 4 weeks out....Personally I have found the best way to do dmv is to get there about 3 pm, they will still be handing out #s. Go a little earlier if you want to make sure but I have always gotten a # if I was there by 3. They will send you a link that helps track your spot in line so that you can go sit on your car etc. It is very helpful and if you happen to totally miss your # being called they are good about getting you in ( I lost my sticker that you get for health clearance). If you get there in the morning you will be waiting longer for nothing.
I got there at 6 am. The DMV staff started coordinating the lines and people's paperwork at 7 a.m. DMV doesn't open until 8 a.m. I was out of there by 8:15. If you don't get there as early as 6 a.m. your wait will be 3 or 4 hours just in line. Good luck
You can see the instructions on DMV´s website. You have to take your passport, social security card, and at least two current bills that show your current address.
I need to renew my license. can I make an appointment
Trae Lewis | Aug 19, 2021

I don't think you have to go to DMV to renew your license. You can go online on DMV's website and renew it there. And they will mail it to you. Unless they need additional documents to renew your license.
Hi there! I just wondering if Westminster dmv allows walkins to take a written test?
Yvonne Ngo | Aug 19, 2021
Berran Lessy | Aug 19, 2021
Yes they are allowed walkins and number calling lines are also outside so I suggest you should go there early like before 7am or something if you don't want to line up in the heat because they also check your temperature twice

I have a new license which was renew but not the Real Id can I make appointments to get real ID
George Gilliam | Aug 19, 2020
Angel Cuellar | Aug 19, 2020
No new appointments are currently available. You'll have to go, as a walk in and wait in a VERY LONG line. Arrive as early as possible. You'll still have to wait, there's no getting out of that but you can reduce your wait by arriving 1-2 hours before they open. My husband has been trying to go the past few days, but around 9am-11am in the afternoon and the line is a disaster. Please arrive very early to wait.
Can I fill out an application for a real ID drivers license online and then go to the Westminster office without an appointment and just wait in line? I will bring all of the required paper work such as SS card, Birth Certificate, etc.

Can you do the behind the wheel motorcycle test here
If with the number of your plates and a credit or debit card, you can pay on the DMV website, pay attention that other sites offer that service but they charge you for that, on the official site it is free they only charge you the plates.
Yes,your gonna want the "real"id to fly because as of 2020 in October its required that all must apply for it,even if you don't intend to fly anywhere To do this you must have a copy of birth certificate, two diffrent billing utility papers and a proof of residence. Arrive early and expect a line.Once inside you will be lead to touch screen computers to fill in your info,have all personal identification papers ready when you enter the front doors to show,real I'd cost $30.00

JOANNE VALKAR | Aug 19, 2020
Chuck Wood | Aug 19, 2020
How is it you think you lost your driver's license? Either you have it or you don't? You just need to go to the DMV and tell them we lots of license and they'll pay a fee for them to reissue one. If you want to get one of those real IDs which is the new standard coming online next year It all depends when you're current licensed up for renewal whether you should do it yet or not.
if you're going in to get a real ID you'll need an original source document which is like an expired US passport or birth certificate. You also need your social security card. And you'll need two proofs of California residency. Such as vehicle registrations utility bills or something indicating that you have a rental agreement.

Don't mail your original documents to DMV which may be lost. Instead bring your real ID docunents to the DMV office to verify your personal information. They will be returned back to you after the verification processes in the DMV office.

Evangelina Reyes | Aug 20, 2019
Tony Ybarra | Aug 20, 2019
Read your renewal notice and see if there is anything else required from you. For example, I had to go in to take the written test again before my renewed licensed would be issued. If you threw the renewal notice away then I would recommend waiting another week or two and if you still dont received it you may need to go to the DMV. Kind of strange though the you paid online, I didn't think they had that option. I know you can call in and do it over the phone or by mail. Double check the website where you made the payment. If it was a third party that the DMV uses it may take quite a bit if time to get your License. Those third party companies slow down the process. They're legit but slow.

If you select the available appointment online, it will give you a confirmation number. You'll also be notified in your email. Print it out and bring it to the DMV on the approved date.
If you have an appointment, it's about 30 minutes wait. No appointment will cost you 2 to 3 hours wait. If no appointments you can go there early morning before business hours like 6am and stay on line then your turn will be called much quicker.
You do it through the DMV website. But all of the DMVs that I checked to make a appointment were booked out until mid June. So if you need something now you're not going to get an appointment
