FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 31, 2018
Sacramento– In an attempt to help ease wait times around the state, 40 California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) field offices will begin offering limited Saturday service in June. The offices will be open on Saturday, June 16 and June 23, and will then transition to the first and third Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., beginning in July 2018. Behind-the-wheel exams will not be available on Saturdays.
*Driver License Processing Centers only process driver license and identification card transactions.
Saturday appointments can be scheduled up to 90 days in advance using the DMV’s website or calling 1-800-777-0133.
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.
