Going into the dmv was a super easy and quick process. Everyone was so eager to complete their work and help their customers. They were all smiling and happy to be there. I took a regular licensing and my Cali ambulance written test. I wouldn't have though I could complete it all in one day but they made it possible. Thank you all so much!

I had an appointment, don't know if it helped or not. About a 10 wait. The registration renewal was handled efficiently. Took off one star because DMV system would not allow my two vehicles to be renewed online for NO apparent reason!!

You can fill out forms online before you go, schedule appointment, or see if there is a wait. No wait for handicapped. Efficient staff.

i need to renew my drivers license what do i do

carlos vargas | Aug 24, 2020
Jason Dorcy | Aug 24, 2020

If you don't have to change the address you might be able to renew it online from the DMV website. If you do need to change the address then you will need to show up in person at the DMV with two items showing that you live at the new address. You can use a bill from one of your utilities or a mortgage statement or even the renewal notice if it was sent to the new address. And of course in either case you missed pay the renewal fee if you want the real ID then you will also have to provide proof of citizenship when you go to the DMV. For that you can use U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, certificate of naturalization or citizenship, employment authorization document, permanent resident card, or foreign passport with an approved form I-94). You should also bring your social security card

Plan on buying a harbor freight 4x8 trailer in 2015 , from a person that bought it and assembled it but never had it on the road and never registered it. If I buy it from him will I be subject to license problem. . Do I even need to register it ???

Ed L | Aug 25, 2019
JoAnn Uzeta | Aug 25, 2019

Anything on the road must have some form of registration. Although it is not the same registration as a car , it must be inspected and deemed road worthy.

Do I need to come into the office for a name change on my drivers license?

Deborah Moneta | Aug 25, 2019
Roland Garza | Aug 25, 2019

You shouldn't apply by phone so they can reinforce their place and duty as the department of motor vehicles for the state of California. It gives the people more security to know this is done in face to face setting. Come into the office.😉🤣

HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU FAIL THE COMPUTER TESTS.I WOULD LIKE TO TRY THE SAMPLES THAT ARE ON THE COMPUTER BUT WHERE ARE THEY?

Patty Williams | Aug 25, 2019
JoAnn Uzeta | Aug 25, 2019

I don't know about the "sample" tests but you are allowed to retake the test up to 3 times. And if at that point you still haven't passed you can start the process all over again on your learner's permit. Be clear when I say start the process over , meaning paying the fee's. Good luck

How to apply for disabled placards

Torynne Magana | Aug 25, 2019
JoAnn Uzeta | Aug 25, 2019

Your doctor will need to provide the form that states you are disabled and dmv can assist you after that. They can provide a temporary one if you're injuried and just need it temporarily but it all starts with your doctor

I unknowingly purchased a vehicle that is salvaged. Now I can't get it registered because the person who sold it to me won't sign the paperwork so I can register it in my name. What can I do?

Terri Oldham | Aug 25, 2019
JoAnn Uzeta | Aug 25, 2019

Did you get a bill of sale? Buying a salvaged vehicle doesn't require any extra paperwork on the seller's side. You as the buyer must get a brake and light inspection , a smog certificate and get it registered. If you at least got a bill of sale you can fill out a statement of facts and dmv personnel can assist you with any additional paperwork you might need. If you did NOT get a bill of sale my question would be WHY?

What do I have to do to renew my handicap placard. Will DMV just send another one to my address? I recently moved and want to make sure they got my change of address form that I mailed to them. How can I check to make sure or talk to someone?

Madaleine Dowd | Aug 25, 2019
JoAnn Uzeta | Aug 25, 2019

I believe they will send it to the address they have on file for you. However if you just moved I'm not sure how long it takes that process to go into the computer. Unfortunately the very best way to ensure they have all your current information is to go into the office. But I am not an employee of DMV , they are a client of mine. I work at DMV not for them.

I need to renew my license before my birthday on Feb.9,2019. I sent the paperwork to my doctor to fill ouyt the medical part of it. She repliied that she never had to do this. Did I misunderstand and don't need this information from my doctor?

Rose Giannis | Aug 25, 2019
JoAnn Uzeta | Aug 25, 2019

Sometimes DMV will get a notification from CHP or the police if they have had an encounter with a driver that they feel might need to requalify for their license. DMV personel won't necessarily know the reason why but there will be a flag on that person's renewal at which time DMV will go through the steps required. People get angry at the DMV staff thinking they are being unreasonable but it is not them. When a license is flagged all appropiate documents must be submitted and depending on the person's age or medical history a doctor's note stating they are healthy enough to proceed with DMV's requirements must be submitted. There is a form for almost every situation. I don't know your medical history or your age so not sure if any of that is revelant to your situation.

jaret newton | Aug 25, 2019
Rhonda Whitton | Aug 25, 2019

He probably doesn't need anything since he had an i.d. already. They can look him up. But if you want to be cautious he could take his birth certificate along. Pretty sure that won't be necessary though.

Christopher Madera (DrMaderaSampoll) | Aug 25, 2019

There is a number you can call, its an automated system that will allow you to make the changes, you can also go online to the official DMV website and choose the Napa CA DMV and from there follow the screen prompts to schedule a new date, furthermore for most transactions they have a No appointment line, so you can just show up and for most cases they will tend to you. My experience has not been the best at this DMV there is a mob mentality with most of the workers there, not all and their customer service is horrible, but if you inquire and are persitent and ask questions and even do your homework before you arribe about what you might need it will help your experience be more rewarding.
