Before you start

Many routine transactions use online services, kiosks, partners or mail. DMV does not provide counter service for registration renewal, most DL/ID renewals, driver/vehicle records or replacement driver licenses; follow the transaction instructions and your notice.
Choose a county to browse published locations. State DMV services and eligibility are statewide; you may need a location across a county boundary.
Industry business centers and commercial testing locations have different services. Check the office’s listed categories and the exact appointment type before travelling.
Office hours are a dated snapshot. Check the official page for current availability, local lunch closures and testing cutoffs; captured wait times and live badges are not current status here.
Location listings can share an address. Shared state instructions appear once on this statewide view; each county guide retains the instructions, fees, forms and sources.
