Frequently asked questions

How do I find the closest DMV office?
Enter your ZIP code, city, or address in the search above, or browse by region, county, or city. You can filter by service, hours, and accessibility to narrow results.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are strongly recommended at field offices — walk-ins face the longest waits, especially mid-month and on Mondays. Some transactions can be done online or at a kiosk with no appointment.
What's the difference between a field office and a DMV Now kiosk?
Field offices handle the full range of services including licenses and tests. DMV Now kiosks are self-service machines for registration renewals and replacement stickers only.
Which offices are open on Saturday?
None currently. As of our latest check of official DMV office data, every California field office is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. If that changes, those offices will appear under the "Open Saturday" filter automatically.
Where can I get a REAL ID?
Every California field office issues REAL ID. Bring the required identity, Social Security, and residency documents — check our REAL ID checklist before you go.
Can AAA handle DMV transactions?
AAA members can complete many registration tasks — renewals, titles, and placards — at a branch, often with shorter waits than a field office.
How long will I wait at the DMV?
We don't publish wait estimates — they change by the hour. Mornings right at opening and mid-week afternoons are usually quietest; Mondays and the start and end of the month are busiest. Each office's official dmv.ca.gov page shows its current status.
Can I do anything without visiting an office at all?
Yes — license and registration renewals, change of address, and fee payments can be completed online at dmv.ca.gov. First-time licenses, REAL ID, and drive tests require an in-person visit.
What should I bring to my visit?
Bring original identity and residency documents (no photocopies), your current license or ID if renewing, and any fees due. The exact list depends on your transaction.
Are DMV offices wheelchair accessible?
Check the office's official dmv.ca.gov page for its current accessibility details — we link to it from every office page.
