We've lived in many stated and dealt with our fare share of DMVs and this was by far the cleanest and had the friendliest employees!

With the wait time showing on line, going without an appointment is easy. The employees are very nice. Update: If you are there for an in car driving test, don't schedule your appointment anytime near their lunch. We waited nearly 2 hours past our scheduled time. There was a back up of cars waiting to test. Before our turn, they went to lunch and no one told us.

I did my behind the wheel driving test here yesterday. The process was incredibly smooth and simple. Staff was kind and helpful and it was overall a good experience. My instructor was reasonable and I passed.

Can I apply for the new drivers license that will be required for travel on line?

Kim | Aug 27, 2018
Chelsea Krogh | Aug 26, 2020

You have to present in person at least the first time you apply for the Real ID. I had to come in person with my birth certificate, social security card and two proofs of residency. Perhaps renewals of the Real ID will be different, but renewing my license this first time with the Real ID designation required an in person visit. https://realid.dmv.ca.gov/how-do-i-get-a-real-id/

Unfortunately, you need to go into the office. Only you can renew or replace your license or ID. There's a new check in system so I recommend you make an appointment or expect to wait about an hour or two.

Are written tests available without an appointment?

Anissa Decandia | Aug 26, 2021
Erik Robinson | Aug 26, 2021

Jorge is correct. Appointments are not required. They break you off into two lines outside the entrance. One is appointments and the other is non-appointments. Try and arrive prior to 3pm for anything, but the earlier the better with the DMV. They line people up outside so distance those indoors.

how do i make an appointment

Gary Lancelot | Aug 26, 2021
Tanya G | Aug 26, 2021

They also aren't doing appts. You arrive and stand in the long line that wraps around the building to get checked in (temp and number assignment), they take your number then text you when to get in the short line. In February I went once and was in and out in 25 minutes and then another time took me 3 hours for business that only took 5 minutes- pretty brutal. Don't go earlier in the week and try to time it first thing or later before they close. However, if you wait too close to 5, sometimes even past 3:45 p.m. they will turn you away. That also happened to me in January.

The Ventura Branch closes earlier than before you must be in the door before 4pm i believe if not the security is at the door at all times he can usually help out by providing some of the forms if you are there for that . Many things can be done on line like vehicle release of liability and it can help many calculate fees for new transfers or registration renewals .

I was there yesterday, they aren't taking new appointments, only the ones made before the virus that were postponed, however you can stand in a very long line and wait. My husband and I chose to drive to Santa Paula. There were only 4 people in line that didnt have appt. My husband was in and out in 30 min. It would have been faster, if we had filled out the application on the website before going. You will need the conformation number when you get there. Good luck. People in Ventura were rude.

if i don't have an appointment can i still fill out an application online to renew my drivers license

Cynthia Lawhon | Aug 26, 2020
Douglass Kemp | Aug 26, 2020

Yes you can, and if you're disabled like me, you get to use the red carpet appointment line too. I walk with a cane so standing doesn't do good for me. But even if you aren't and don't have an appointment, you can. If you can, do it during the week about 9AM. I had to get my registration changed from out of state, so mine was a little more complicated than most, but it still went relatively quick. The people at the initial desk, should be making sure that you have all the documents you need.
