I had my driving test, I was nervous in the beginning anticipating a strict supervisor. However, Affan (supervisor) was very amiable and he guided me real well throughout the process. He also gave some feedback in the last to improve my driving skills.

Applied for a Real ID online. I noticed the DMV made a typo in my middle name while waiting in a line to take the photo. I was sent back to the window. The window was closed. The lady was on a break. Applied for a new number. Got to another window. The second DMV lady found the first lady and helped to correct the name. One more photo line. Then a green line. The green line lady took some papers and told me I will get the ID in the mail. The total time at the DMV with a prior online appointment was 1.5h.

The supervisor, Sonia, was extremely helpful. She was able to assist me, while helping other as well. She helped me solve me renewal issues very fast and efficiently. Very great service, her friendly personality is essential to the DMV

02/25/2022 I had a very good experience with fremont DMV. Went to get my real ID. I had an appointment. Remember to find out which line is for walk-ins vs with appointments. The representatives outside are very helpful. Fill the application online and get an application number, give it to the representative outside and she gives a token number and You will be let inside to wait till they call on your token. The wait is probably 5-10 min that's all. The entire process is streamlined and I was surprised and happy. Please carry the documents listed on the DMV website, the person outside checks your documents before letting you in. It is super easy to to even book an appointment. I found that appointments are easily available. I suppose even without appointment you can expect it to be faster than in the old DMV days.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

In CA, your CDL expires every 4 years. If you have not gotten a moving violation or a DUI, you may qualify for a renewal. Some renewals will require you to go to the DMV and pass the eye exam. Hope this helps.

Due date and appointment date is not related. Legally speaking you will not be allowed to drive after 9-23, so you need to go to DMV as drop in appointment before that day to ensure you're allowed to drive after the expiration date. Be prepared to wait in long line though

I wont know the exact details since i went for a state id. All i can say is they have a drop in box in which you can drop the form if they allow it. If they tell you , you have to meet them personally then yu have to wait for like 5 hrs minimum. I went there on 8:15 am still i had to wait for 6 hrs. The next appointment available is like 15 days from now. But even after the appointment you still have to wait for 2-3 hrs. The fremont dmv is very slow i saw only half windows out of 18 working. If possible go to san jose dmv. People are saying its much more faster there since it has more windows
