Wow, Very impressed with my visit. My customer service expectations are pretty low for the DMV which is why I always try renewing everything online. However, this time I had to come in person. Nevertheless, everyone that assisted me was very friendly! I came in on a Tuesday around noon for a DL renewal with vision test (no appointment). I got my ticket online and was in and out in less than ~10mins.

Easier to get your paperwork done. But when trying to take a test not good. Everyone talks to loud and difficult to tatest.

If you were arrested for a DUI and police officers took your license do you need to contact DMV or will they contact you about the status of your license?

How much cost to get your license????when a can study ?
Ruth P.gonzalez | Nov 20, 2020
Susana Ross | Nov 21, 2020
You can go on line to study and take practice tests. The cost is $45 I think. When you go on line all information is there including making appts.
Written tests are mandatory. You can go on line to take practice tests and can do it in many languages. Once you pass the written test you will be told if you need the driving test. Appointments are highly recommended if you don't want to spend the day.
On my stored (planned non operation) car I get a notice that says "Do Not Pay unless you want to re register". If you have been getting those just do what it says.
I got my drivers permit but I need my drivers license so i have to do my behind the wheel skill test with the instructor right next to me in order to get my license, when will the dmv start offering those behind the wheel test again?

Martique Johnson | Jan 21, 2020
If you get pulled over for expired registration, you can catch an additional ticket for it. The cops have the option to get you towed but they usually won't unless an extensive amount of time has passed by. You usually get a warning. Pay it as soon as you can.

The processing of the SSN is done only in the social security offices, take birth certificate created that you do not occupy appointment, and when you receive your SSN, you can submit to the DMV Offices for an ID, remember to carry the necessary documents, two vouchers of residence in the USA.

abel paredes | Jan 20, 2020
Martique Johnson | Jan 21, 2020
You must apply for a duplicate registration card if the original has been lost, stolen, or mutilated. To obtain a duplicate registration card:
Complete an Application for Replacement Plates, Stickers, Documents (REG 156) (PDF). Include the vehicle license plate number, your true full name, current address, your driver license number and signature.
Submit the appropriate Notice of Change Addressform if your address has changed.
Pay the required duplicate replacement fee.

Martique Johnson | Jan 21, 2020
This is the website
https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ffvr07
Yes you can, but make sure the vin number match with the mitorcycle, and lincence plates and the title has the name of the owner and signed and the back of the sheet, if you are going ti buy it, also check the stickers on the plates last year he or she paid.
I suggest you go to the DMV, fill in the application, so they can issue you a temporary receipt you are subject to an infraction so the pars LA police, the would arrive in two weeks to your mail. Approximately.
You mean for vehicle renewals? Yes, it's near the main entrance.

My DL expired While my Wallet was Lost I’m Moving I found it but realized it had Expired. What Will I need to do? Retake the test?
Kevon Heller | Jan 20, 2020
Miguel Marin | Jan 21, 2020
You have to renew the license. If it's expired you sometimes get a renew by mail notice if you do that means you might not need a test. If you did not get such notice you will have to take a new test and a picture. However until you go to the DMV they cannot tell you for sure. Also if you are moving might as well get your address updated so the new card can get to you.

No, you should not wait another week. It makes me absurd that you have to wait for your license to arrive. It is better that you go and ask for shipping your license.
Tip: If you need a DL/ID go straight to Window #1. Forget Start Here line. You, will save your self headache and frustration and time. Do, the application online at Window#1. It, took me 50 mins on 10/9/18 with appointment to get in and out. Go to Window #1 first.
Depends on the vehicle. My registration was $242 for a 2016 Dodge Dart, however my motorcycle was only $128. I had Nissan Maxima and my renewal was about $190 annually, so it's generally anywhere within that region.
I need to replace my motorcycle registration card the bike is in my mothers name and she is unable to go to the dmv, can I take something signed by her stating that I need to replace it, insurance is in my name as well.

Go on line make appointment and renovate, DMV don't accept any excuse for expired licence...sorry
For the written test for your license can u make an appointment or is it a whole different line
You have to make an appointment on the dmv website and the day of your appointment they give you the form to fill it out.
I recommend that you go better to Chula Vista, this is very slow and very bad service.
