Paige GuritzkySeptember 5, 2013Make an appointment! You can't check in before 10 minutes prior to your appointment. The line for non-appointment will make you remember to make one in the future. I promise. In and out in 20 minutes!
Julie M.July 27, 2012This is one of the better DMVs in LA. Been here a few times and haven't had to wait super long. This is like heaven compared to the valley or Hollywood locations.
Tiffany HoJune 29, 2019Had to renew my license in person and completed the application online. Arrived 8:15 am on a Saturday morning and was out at 9:45 am. People were pleasant and as efficient as they could be.
Rachel MercerJune 6, 2013Make an appointment and make sure you get all your ducks in a row before you show up. Definitely have your passport in-hand for ID purposes. You can take the written drivers test multiple times, too.
Daniel LevyJanuary 22, 2014Remember, THEY have the power. Just go with it like a warm colonic and you'll be juuuust fine. Also multilingual books!!
If you make an appointment, come in near your appointed time. If you have an appointment for 10 AM and you arrive at 8 AM, they will make you wait until 10 AM to check in.
Michael J southbayfoodies.comJanuary 22, 2013No better way to spend the afternoon than watching a couple hours of Motor Vehicle Network with a few hundred close friends. Screaming children welcome! XD
CallanNovember 20, 2014Be sure to make an appointment! With an appointment I was in and out in 10min- Love MeMay 22, 2013Making an appointment prior to your visit helps a lot. Just wish they take credit card payment.
gary pianoOctober 20, 2011I made an appointment for 9:10. I had two items to take care of, they allow up to three, and finished everything by 9:30. Make an appointment :-)
Triana WarrenSeptember 30, 2013They need need longer hours. Every seat is taken & a line outside the door to the street.
Presence GraceSeptember 23, 2014Faster service & for the most part nicer people than a couple of other DMV's I've been to. Certainly prefer it over Santa Monica.
David LongDecember 15, 2010If you make an appointment, keep in mind there are two lines... the one that goes out the door and around the corner and the appointment line which is usually much shorter and inside the building.
BarclayJanuary 10, 2012Truly horrible service, with the exception of Tony, who went above and beyond and helped me a ton with some botched paperwork.
Raymond LiuJune 6, 2013Make an appointment and make sure to have your confirmation number with you in case they don't have your appointment in front of them
Lee AzzarelloJuly 28, 2010Great tourist attraction. 1979 space mural on all 4 sides by LA Streetscapers. Hopeful and inspiring. Inside the doors awaits a less hopeful story.
Grant JackNovember 21, 2019Show up with no appointment at 8-30-9am on a Wed-Thurs for little to no wait time.
Sean LenihanMay 20, 2013Make an appointment. Seriously. Non appointment line is huge. I walked in an got done before scheduled appointment. #VIPtreatment
Maurice SallaveOctober 17, 2011Bring your charger for your phone, cause your gonna need it while your waiting and messing with your phone playing games.
It's best to get here at 7am, because they open at 8am.
Ross SheingoldAugust 28, 2015The line for non-appointments is around the block by 7:30am on Fridays. Arrive early!
Michael YatesJuly 16, 2013The department of getting kicked in the junk was busy, so this was next best choice.
LorenaMay 5, 2010Make an online appointment, its faster. Super nice people work at this one. Not bad for a DMV. Nice Spaceship Mural outside.
Chrysta W.June 11, 2012In and out in 10 minutes. Who isn't making appointments??? DMV.ca.gov. Make an appointment: change your life by saving time!
Robert PortilloMarch 14, 2011Came at about 4 p.m. on a Monday mid-month with no appointment and they called my number within 20 minutes!
Rock out to the sweet sounds of the lobby's new speakers and space out staring at the new video screens.
Kimberly SchmittJune 15, 2011Oh god, use the bathroom before you leave the house because the ones here are horrendous. And out of hand soap. So.Gross.
Shalimar GonzalesJanuary 5, 2012Make an appointment. Appointment holders have priority. As long as they come in, you're never getting helped.
Carlos MarroquinDecember 8, 2011Its faster then most dmvs especially the one at hope, but make a appointment.
Ana Carolina FerreiraApril 25, 2013If you are under a f1 visa, bring your I20. It is not on the mandatory documents checklist but they will not allow you to apply without it.
James RotheringJuly 31, 2016What's good here? Absolutely nothing! Only hell is similar: arrival 1:45pm;2:00pm "appointment"; 1 hr in car in the sun in "line"; test; 50 minutes of paperwork. Left 4:45pm. Preview of Obamacare!
Ryan AnthonyJanuary 17, 2012It's pretty empty here, best time I'd say then is 3:30 to get in and out
Andi ForsterMarch 18, 2013The DMV needs to higher more employees ASAP. Seems like they are understaffed. Be prepared to waste your whole day here
Fernando ChavezAugust 8, 2011When busy, you can wait in the appointment line. They rarely check whether you have an appointment or not.
