I have great experience with Goleta DMV every-time; this is my 3rd renewal of my DL. Quick suggestion: book an appointment in advance which is normally available. In that way you will be in fast lane.

Bad communication skills here and they have issues that have been around for years that could resolve people's frustrations and the time they spend in the building 1 star

Very nice staff. Courteous and by the book. Today was my son's second driving test try , he did well/pass. The office is fresh, clean and nicely furnished. If you don't pass, conveniently, there is a USMC Recruiting Center next door, they'd fix anything and get you to drive a tank instead.

Every time I've been here I've been out in under an hour. Everyone I've interacted with is highly competent, and really good at their job. Its still a DMV and they need to be thorough so don't expect instant times. If you don't know what forms you need, they'll walk you through exactly what you need before you have to get a ticket number so you don't have to wait just to be rejected.

I am trying to get REAL ID now but I can't seems to make an appointment for it. Is it first come first serve or I make an appointment for test because that's all what website is offering me

Igor Korpak | Sep 1, 2021
Kara K | Sep 1, 2021

I had the same problem last Friday. Not having an appointment, I got to stand in line for about an hour to get a number, then almost another hour before I was out of the office. Other people got ahead of me with appointments even though I couldn't get one for Real ID on their website (perhaps there's an "other" option?). I did all the paperwork upload and verification online. Express experience didn't live up to its name, and the wait times on their website are misleading as it doesn't count the time before you get a number. I wish you better luck!

Roberta Myers | Sep 1, 2021
Alexandra Eleazar | Sep 1, 2021

If you do a walk-in appointment it will probably take around 2 hours because of COVID and more if it's busy. If you submit your documents online and set up a scheduled appointment it will be faster.

Please send my Drivers licens to my address again. Previously it was returned, whereas the address is correct.

I mailed in my license renewal fee in Dec 2018 and now it’s March and I have not received my new license. Is there a baglog in getting renewals?

lukas | Sep 2, 2019
phillip thomas | Sep 2, 2019

Don't know about back log I'd say probably. But more likely your license is lost in the system some where. They should have tracking numbers for some if these serviced. Think how much time that would sayr. You need to go in there and get to it. Just go to the head if the line and tell them that you called and the person told you to go to the front of the line because all they had to do was run a trace
