Took 2 visits. I moved from out of state and I did not have the correct paper work the first time. Agents were very helpful and fast. I have never seen a DMV operate so quickly and efficiently. I dealt with two agents one was, Tammy and the other was a young man in his twenties. Sorry I did not get his name. Both were courteous and skilled. Five stars to each!

I was a walk-in....but it didn't really matter, I didn't have a great wait. The lady that helped me was very nice. I went to get my driver's license and I succeeded. It is a very nice place to visit 😊

Much better than the Garberville DMV. Really nice and professional staff, that were very helpful. You may have to wait a little longer but worth it to not deal with rude unprofessional attitudes.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Yes. In many cases the nonimmigrant can apply for a driver's license but should consult with the local DMV and DSO before applying. The DMV requires a nonimmigrant to present supporting documentation, such as an EAD card, validating the duration of stay in the country.Sep 5, 2012

As of summer 2021, for the physical driving test, where exactly does it take place? Is there a specific route test takers at the bayshore mall dmv office take on normal st's or is the entirety of the test in the mall parking lot?

Russell Rojas | Oct 3, 2021
J Wood | Oct 3, 2021

Does not take place only in parking lot. There are nice neighborhoods nearby with stop signs, street lights and other things including parking. Suggest you practice in several neighborhoods around town. Good luck... you'll be fine.👍

How can I get my vehicle, with insurance but expired plates, to get smogged?

Ned Lemieux | Oct 3, 2020
Talvi Fried | Oct 3, 2020

Just go get it smog certified. Seems like you can vary the steps to keeping your vehicle up to date, tho eventually you have to do them all. Hit up a smog spot. Have them smog your vehicle. Wallah! If you need any other steps, they will let you know what you need to do to have your vehicle up to par.

Kirsten Petersen | Oct 3, 2020

I don't think you have to get a RealID when you renew your Drivers License yet, but I'm not 100% sure. You may not have to get your birth certificate specifically, there are other documents you can use.

what happens if you miss the date to renew licence photo and thumprint

Christine Rising | Oct 4, 2019
Robert Manners | Oct 4, 2019

Just make a new appointment, or drop in when you have time. I don't believe there is a penalty for letting your license expire (unless you get pulled over driving on an expired license), and no penalty for missing an appointment. I recommend making an appointment... I did it online and had to reschedule twice and it was no problem. The important thing is having all your documents in order.
