Of all the DMVs I've ever been, being from CA and all, this is by far the best. I came on a Tues, around 2pm, to follow-up on my vehicle registration renewal. It only took me 30 mins total. Just bring all documents required and you'll be out of there in no time. Nice people to boot, they seem very happy with their job. Excellent management.

With a reservation, I was in & out in less than 1/2 hour. The lady that helped me was very polite and walked me through the whole process.

They were very helpful and fast. Denise(D) was very helpful and got everything I needed handled in one visit. Best experience at a DMV office.

Staff are super helpful. Kiosk doesn't always work, but give it a minute. For a Friday, everything moved very smooth. In and out in 30 minutes. Do your application online as much as you can. Make sure to have your 8 digit code when you come in, especially if you couldn't make an appointment. 10/10 service.

Questions & Answers

Don't go to this DMV it is closed until January 17 because of renovations

Jazmin C | Aug 26, 2018

Open again! Edited 10/6/18: Since it's reopening the CA DMV has introduced a new (& improved?) system into every DMV office. It's got bigger and easier to read fonts on the info-screens; it's got paid sponsorship (ie ads) and, most annoyingly, it's now got outrageous wait-times. Appointments, you say? The next available when I called was Stardate 3643.4*. I was better off just waiting it out. If you do decide to venture inside, IMHO wait until an hour before closing. They'll lock the doors with you inside, but everyone inside WILL be serviced... Possibly quicker than you'd expect ;) [* Just being sarcastic]

IS AN APPOINTMENT REQUIRED FOR WRITTEN TEST?

Can I do walk in right now?

Shella Duey | Aug 25, 2021
Monica | Aug 25, 2021

Usually yes, if they are at capacity however they will let you know . Last time I went, there was a line and about 30 minutes of waiting just to get a number. I do recommend filling out any paperwork online before you go, it makes it much faster

If you already have a real ID drivers license from Nevada and you need to get a California license as you've moved here, do you need to go through all the proof process for the Real ID???

Charlene Spinner | Aug 25, 2020
Jack Richard | Aug 25, 2020

I would say yes you will because you have to show proof of residence in California!

Would I be able to order a new ID to use for my 21st birthday in 2 weeks or will it still say “under the age of 21”?

Kiana Lea | Aug 25, 2020
Double Tee | Aug 25, 2020

It only matters what your age is when you order it. So if you are not 21 yet it will say you are under 21 still. You would need to wait until you are 21. But regardless it will still show your birthday so you can still use it once you are 21. The "Under the age of 21" is to make it easier for cashiers to see they may be underage. Just make sure to tell them to look at your birthday when they card you.

What does the DMV charge for license plates and do they accept card?

Stephanie Currier | Aug 25, 2020
Double Tee | Aug 25, 2020

Zayra Castillo | Aug 25, 2020
Donald Varnado | Aug 25, 2020

If my vehicle plates are stolen, what procedures should I do? Is the procedure expensive?

Maria Velez | Aug 25, 2020
Dustin Ambrose | Aug 25, 2020

I have had my license plate stolen before. I had to file a police report, then order a new license plate. I wanted a personalized plate so I was not too upset, but I do believe if you just want a regular plate you still have to pay. a special plate cost $ 50 so I would guess a normal plate would be slightly less than that. You can set up an appointment online to go into the DMV and order a new plate. My badge has been stolen before. I had to submit a police report and then ask for a new badge. I wanted a custom dish, so I wasn't too upset, but I think if you just want a normal dish, you still have to pay. A special dish costs $ 50, so I guess a normal dish would be a little less than that. You can schedule an appointment online to enter the DMV and request a new license plate.

Then after your smog information has been received by the DMV, your registration and sticker will be mailed to you automatically. If your smog info has already been received by the DMV, your sticker will print immediately.
