Best DMV around, if you need to go to a DMV for your DL, this is the one. Clean, not crowed, service is also better than other DMVs in LA.

This is, by far, the best dmv office to go to. But, they only do ID cards and drivers licenses. Even then they don't do driving tests.
I had no appointment, and I was in and out in under 15 minutes.
If you need registration, or a driving test, you have to go to another office, sorry.

I give this dmv 4 stars instead of 5 because it is license only. However they are open 6 days a week. They always move fast. There are many employees to help. Their testing is computerized which is nice. I have always liked coming here. Plus the facility is huge so there is no crowding.
I can go without an appointment my license is urgent
Sonia Romero | Aug 22, 2018
yovani olvera | Aug 22, 2018
If you can go without an appointment !! I got my license there as soon as you take up leaving Tenprano so you don't catch many people after 12-11 it is very full and everyone looks after you very well
No appointment needed.you can walk in.i suggest you do the real I'd application online and take the code it will give you at he end. You don't have to upload the documents ypu need for the real id.but take them with you
How can I get my license back due to suspended . From child support.
R C | Aug 21, 2021
Eugenio Elias | Aug 21, 2021
You have to back to court to prove that you are current with child support and get a letter from the judge so you can take it to the DMV to reinstate it.
My driver's license is expiring next month. Can I switch it over to the Real ID at this DMV location on Glenoaks in Pacoima right next to the 118 freeway?
I need to take the written test. Do I make an appointment at the Pacoima Driver's License Processing Center? How do I make an appointment for this office? I didn't see it on the list the other day when I tried.
Or is this strictly "walk-in"?
Burton Hunter | Aug 21, 2020
William McMahon | Aug 21, 2020
Go online first, get a code with online account from DMV, then go walk in anytime, no appointment needed
Yes you can do name changes on your California driver's license or your California identification card at this DMV nothing that has to do with vehicles and vessels
Just to add to the comment before. You can do it in person as well, if you did not fill the application on line, they have kiosk where you can fill it up yourself and follow the instructions, there is no line, you can go in and out in less than 30 minutes, I recommend you to do it early, they are open at 8am and 9 pm on Wednesday.
If you go Online it looks like the DMV is only taking behind the wheel appointments and this location doesn’t do behind the wheel, but you don’t need an appointment for this location; because it’s driver’s license only everything is fast. most people are going to renew or update license, your in and out in 30-40minutes depending on what your going for every window has a person. I went to take a test to add an endorsement to my license and was in took the test and was out in 20min
Do you need to bring your ssc for a driver license and I.D ?
Gabriela Flores | Aug 21, 2021
Eugenio Elias | Aug 21, 2021
The DMV in Pacoima is only for Licenses, depends on what are you processing, in some cases you must bring proof of residence like a utility bill in case is the first time you're getting your license, just bring your ss# or itin#.

Can I use my passport instead of my birth certificate to get my ID?
If you have your renewal form I suggest you feel it out online and get the code they give you. By doing this you'll bypass staying in line once the DMV clerk gets to you and ask what you're there for. I did it and was in and out in 30-40 minutes.
Not taking any appointments, fill out the application online bring your reservation number with you, social security birth certificate by the state and two proofs of address. Just show up where your mask they take your temperature and give you a number and call you when it's your turn. They're very nice and everything went very quickly.

megan hernandez | Aug 21, 2021
Kevin Ecker | Aug 21, 2021
Absolutely complete the license application online thru the DMV website before going in person and get a confirmation number. The confirmation number will move you to the front of the line and will save a significant amount of time. Also note they stop administering the written test at 3:45pm so plan to get there by 3pm, 3:15pm at the latest. The DMV is not taking new appointments right now as it still works thru it's backlog due to the shutdown.

Akia Harvey | Aug 21, 2020
Wendy Wiley | Aug 21, 2020
Best to go back in. When I didn't receive my ID when they said, I found out they put it in the computer wrong. You also would be able to find out when they shipped it.
Can someone tell me if in this DMV I can have the theoretical exam for driver's license without an appointment
This location only handles drivers licenses so you should be able to get it reinstated. You need your social security card, birth certificate, and 2 items that prove where you live such as a medical bill, a utility bill, or you lease. If you don't have a birth certificate they will accept your passport as long as it's not expired. Finally make sure you fill out the application online and write down the reference number the website gives you. As for appointments, this location does not make appointments.
What do i need to bring to renew the regular drivers license amnd iam 76 yrs old?
skallen50 | Aug 21, 2020
Daniel Rubio | Aug 21, 2020
You'll need to know your personal information. Have your current drivers license. You'll complete a regular renewal form but they will let you know you'll need to apply for the real driver license in the near feature. Based on your age they might have you retest on both written and driving. Hope this was helpful

Do they do written test for drivers permits at this location? Anyone know?
You can walk in to take the test or you can make an appointment it's up to you but if you want to take the test it's best to go early in the morning and make line because it does get quite busy.

Yes. You dont need an appointment for a written test. Same for people applying for the AB-60 license.
Here is a Link from the official dmv site where you can fill out an id or driver license application.
(Same link for AB-60)
https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/forms/dl/dl44
This is the same process they are using inside the DMV office. They put you on a computer to fill out this same application
I am sorry but you are not contacting the DMV you are contacting somebody that has been to that DMV but I do not know the answer to that question you would actually have to call the DMV at their 1-800 number to find out thank you

Yes you cam it is only for drivers license, driving test, name changes on CDL or ID. Nothing that has ru do with vehicles or vessels.. you can just walk in but it does tend to get very busy so it's best to make an appointment if you do not want to wait
Yes that is mainly what they help out with nothing to do with vehicles or vessels just California IDs driver's license or name changes on your driver's license or ID and also driving test

You have to go with someone who is licensed because you have to do it with your car oh the car of a friend family ctc. It is assumed that you only have a driver's license so you can not drive only then if you go alone they will know that you are breaking the rules !
