FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 24, 2024

Sacramento – The California DMV announced that the Whittier office at 9338 S. Painter Ave. will temporarily close at 5 p.m. on Thursday, December 26, to repair a damaged exterior wall. The office is scheduled to reopen at 8 a.m. Monday, January 13.

Until the repair is complete, customers can visit the following area offices:

• Bell Gardens: 6801 South Garfield Ave. (7 miles from the Whittier office)
• Montebello: 424 N. Wilcox Ave. (8 miles from the Whittier office)
• West Covina: 800 S. Glendora Ave. (16 miles from the Whittier office)

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 opt in by creating a secure online account and registering at dmv.ca.gov.
