FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 27, 2024

Sacramento – The California Department of Motor Vehicles is alerting customers that the El Centro office at 233 N. Imperial Ave. has closed temporarily for remediation. A reopening date has not yet been determined.

Until the remediation is complete, customers can visit the Brawley office at 173 W. Main St. (about 14 miles away) for in-person services.

Before Going to an Office – Try Online First!

The DMV has taken many steps to offer additional digital services. Most DMV tasks do not require an office visit, including simple self-service transactions that are no longer available in offices. The DMV encourages customers to use its online services and other service channels to complete transactions, including eligible driver’s license and vehicle registration renewals. Customers can also use the Service Advisor on the DMV website to learn their options to complete DMV tasks.

To sign up for paperless vehicle registration and driver’s license renewal notices, customers must sign in or create a secure online account at dmv.ca.gov and then opt in.
