It was fast and this DMV is a bit hidden but I find that good the women on # 7 was especially honest to my son she told him he was allowed to get a temporary license and had 60 days to retake the written test to get his license renewed.

Amazing! I joined the line online (service wasn't always available but I waited until it worked), arrived just after I was at the front of the line, and was in/out with my real id order in 15min. Wow!

Appointment for 1:10pm did not appear to make a difference for my drivers license/realID renewal where I had to do the eye test. Had to wait until almost 2:30 to be called and then sent to 4 different stations. Clerks were friendly enough when I got to them, but avoiding in person DMV visits is what I will always do, or if I must, maybe an early morning appointment would result in faster process.

Extremely busy location. Get there as early as possible or be there when you have a lot of time to spare. Staff is very helpful and polite but I think they need more help and a much bigger building. I really appreciate their patience and professionalism.
No appts. Get their about 5:30 am. Approx. 100 people will show up around 6-6:30. They open around 8.
The line will move pretty quickly. The last 80 or so who show up around 7 am
Will be asked to return around 2 pm.
Do we need to make an appointment to take the written driving test or can we just walk in for the written test permit?
Kim Stalie | Dec 23, 2020
bill brocato | Dec 24, 2020
No appts., available. It's a good idea to show up by
5:30 am...if you don't, you'll
Probably be asked to return
The next day. They give out
Numbers to the first 100, thr rest return at 2 pm., or the next morning. Large groups show up by 6-6:30.
Bring water, folding chair, and mask.
Application for a California driver license requires California residency, which you don't have. As long as you have a valid driver's license from your home country, however, you can legally drive in California. By the way, California does not recognize international driving permits. You need a real driver's license from your home county.
It would be better to go around 4 in the morning. Get in line. They give out about 80 numbers. The rest if the people in line will get a number to go back at 2 pm. The earlier you get their the better. They are fast when they open at 7:15 am., each morning.
I lost my ID and im from Missouri i have no ss card but i know my number and i have no birth certificate here in California cause i was born in Missouri...how do i get another ID?

The DMV lists a help phone number on their Web page. It may be a little difficult getting through, but they can explain what you have to do.

Hi .
someone took my 2011 sticker on the plate. so I got a ticket from the parking enforcement. How should I do?
I already sent a registration renewal for 2012 by mail.
Sunny j | May 27, 2021
chuck lopez | May 28, 2021
First off, anytime you get your sticker use a knife or sharp blade to made a zigzag on the sticker so that if peeled off the entire thing doesn't come off as a whole. After that notify your insurance company and they can tell you more. If you have AAA they can help as well.
how many days do you have to wait to retake your driving test if you have failed?
Tricia Del Rosario | May 27, 2021
Anjali Bhardwaj | May 28, 2021
You can use three attempts in one go . or one by one you can come another day after preparation.
You don't need an appointment. Show up early enough, like 6-630 and they'll hand out appointment slips for the same day. You do need to complete the application online and screen shot the confirmation number. Test is super easy, study up on class c if you're rusty. Good luck
Go in the morning around 6 or 6:30 am get the appointment in the line. DMV will give u a paper appointment at 7:15 am. If you are first in line you will get an early appointment or rest somewhere at 10 am, 11 am or 12 pm appointment.

Flowers Bloom | Apr 27, 2021
Lori Kuebler | Apr 28, 2021
I would start with going online, they have an efficient questionnaire to best route your specific needs. Also you may be able to renew without having to go into a DMV
Does this location provdide a motorcycle skills test?

I must cancel my appoinment for Real ID License Renewal scheduled for Jan, 6 2:00 pm?
How to do so???
Yes you can, but to get a REAL GOOD spot in line you need to come by 6:00am. I went at 5 am and by 6:30am there was already a huge line. Early bird gets the worm with this one.
You can't make an appointment over the phone, show up early and they will hand you an appointment slip for later in the day, show up for that appointment and maybe 2 hours of waiting.
Real IDs can be renewed online but you can't first time cannot. You have to apply online and finish it at the DMV.
You can however reapply for your license online but you MUST apply for a Real ID by 2021
As far as I know all test except the behind the wheel are being done but you MUST complete everything online to get an appointment. If you do not get an appointment then they most likely won't take you as a walk-in
Currently you HAVE to start the process online. They won't let you enter the building unless you show them that you've already completed all of the online portion of the DL renewal. Including uploading your proof of identity and proof of residency. Once that is completed you will get a confirmation # on a page with a red stop sign icon on it. Bring the paperwork you've uploaded and show that confirmation number and they'll let you in to complete the application. (I did this about 2 weeks ago for my expired DL)

Can I make an appointment for “on the wheel driving test”?
Luna Ferdousi | Dec 23, 2020
Royletta Jetton | Dec 24, 2020
The website says they're open, but I went last Friday and the doors were locked. Several other customers were waiting also. We all got tired of waiting for someone to unlock the doors, so we left. This means that if the website allows you to make an appointment, there's no guarantee you'll be seen.
Could we seniors get an automatic extension on license renewal since we should be sheltering at home and not being in crowds? My renewal appointment is in two days.

Months in advance is smart, but I was able to recently get an appointment the following week from their online scheduling section. If there's nothing available in Torrance, perhaps the Carson or other town offices may have availability. Also, if everywhere is fully booked, try back a day or two later. I've gotten appointments that way, suppose people cancel and they open slots? Hope this helps!

The written test is generally given using a touch screen. Don't panic. It's easy to use. Probably took me about 15 minutes. If you can, take the sample test on the dmv Web site. It's similar to the behavior of the real test.
