All CA DMV need appointments for ease, but if you are willing to wait...it will take some time.
No, we didnt have an appointment and they let us right in. We did fill out all paperwork online first and had a confirmation number.
I was just there a couple of weeks ago and they had a line for appointments and non-appointments. I wasnt there long for not making an appointment but all DMV's are open again so hopefully, you shouldn't be there long. Good luck.
Yes, you need an appointment no matter what.
