Customers applying for a REAL ID should visit REALID.dmv.ca.gov to make sure they have the required documents to apply for the federal compliant driver license or identification card. If you choose to apply for a REAL ID, you must visit a DMV field office. View the full list of acceptable documents on DMV’s website.

The DMV also offers many online services at www.dmv.ca.gov, which can save a trip to a DMV field office. Online services include: driver license and ID card renewal, registration suspension fee payment, notice of transfer and release of liability completion, ordering personalized license plates, add or remove an affidavit of non-use from a vehicle on your record, and ability to request a driver or vehicle record.

Customers renewing their vehicle registration can avoid visiting the DMV by using the DMV Now Self-Service Terminal, which prints a new registration card and license plate tag on the spot. These convenient kiosks are available in 60 field offices, 39 grocery stores and at the University of California, Irvine.
