Sacramento – The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) today announced that the Santa Clara office at 3665 Flora Vista Ave. will be temporarily closing for an inspection of its HVAC system and roof beginning at 5 p.m., Friday, November 1. The office is scheduled to reopen at 8 a.m. Monday, November 18.

The inspection is part of the DMV’s long-term plan to upgrade its aging infrastructure. Until the inspection is complete, customers can visit the following area offices:

San Jose: 111 West Alma Ave. (10 miles from the Santa Clara office)

Los Gatos: 600 North Santa Cruz Ave. (13 miles from the Santa Clara 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 sign in or create a secure online account at dmv.ca.gov and then opt in.
