I'll admit it was my fault and I didn't realize I needed to bring my ID, and I had one of the last appointments of the day. The doors were already closed, so they let me know I wouldn't be able to go back in and out. It was completely understandable though. I ended up coming back the next morning, and it worked out even better. I got there early and was one of the first people to check in at 7:50am. I was in and out in about 11 minutes! Easily one of the fastest DMV experiences I've ever had! I'm not sure how new the QR code system is (I usually try to avoid the DMV and do everything online), but I actually liked it. It shows your place in line and how many people are ahead of you, which made the whole process feel way more organized. All in all, a super smooth experience and way better than what you'd expect from the DMV!

DMV kiosks are convenient and offer services that are quick and easy. No wait times and open daily! I scheduled an appointment for my daughter to take her behind-the-wheel test at 9 AM. We arrived early at 8:45 AM and were directed to window 8 for early check-in. They checked us in and furthermore instructed us to bring our vehicle around for inspection before heading out to take the driver test. I'm not even exaggerating when I say, we waited an additional 50 MINUTES outside in our vehicle, in the hot blazing sun (no shade) before my daughter was able to take her driver test. I was very disappointed in the lack of organization and communication. At times, it seemed both instructors seemed dazed and confused about who was next in line. Mind you, there were (3) separate vehicle lanes and many people were not made aware of which lane they were designated. In the end, my daughter passed her driving test and is now a licensed driver in the state of California. We are super stoked and very proud of her! I will definitely reconsider coming back to this DMV in the future!

Everyone here was good to go except Ramos…read more Ramos is the perfect example of why one should study hard in school, marry a confident woman, continue to work out and stray from fatty foods. I was told correctly by one of the nice ladies to go to his window after completing a Smog check on a registration I had already paid. He could not handle that as a government worker that someone would come in with their paperwork and tasks correctly done and go straight to his line. To say he was perturbed is to put it lightly. All is good though I had some E-mails to write and I made a phone call. Went back to Ramos's line after a short wait and proceeded to call him sweetheart the entire time, which enraged him. I don't know the problems Ramos has, but he appears to be one of those people that even the family dog hates. Ramos is a miserable person I hope at least his Wife's boyfriend is nice to the kids and dog, because I know Ramos isn't.

I needed to finally get my REAL ID and address change complete. This was by far the best experience I had at DMW, mainly due to Jill at Window 06. She was friendly, kind, professional and helpful. I can't say the same for the other 3 agents I encountered on the same day. Overall the process went quickly. I was in and out in under 30 minutes which is almost unheard of for my history with DMV. Make an appointment is the way to go. Someone give Jill a raise, she makes the DMV experience less painful!

Plus when you try to do application online, it recommends you come in-person. I lost my DL. In actuality I was supposed to fill out an application online as a replacement. But I had read that if you have a police incident #, they will waive the fees. Not true. The good news is they have plenty of computers where you can submit your application online while you're there's. The application is only just a few questions. The bad news is they do not give you a wait number until you come back to the line which I think is unfair because you don't get to come right up to the counter to get a number. My experience was turned from bad to great by the staff named Gerardo. He started with a friendly smile and a "good morning" unlike the other two staff that greeted you if you could even call it a "greeting." He turned my experience to a positive one. The process once you actually get started is not bad. I had no appointment and got there at 830a and left after about an hour.

WAITED OVER AN HOUR. What's the point of "Express" then? 3) I have a screenshot of our online process that says they take electronic copies of proof of residency, printed is not required but is suggested. Finally get called to the windows and the worker says we are REQUIRED to have printed copies. I show her my screenshot and she says, "I need to scan it." I asked her what was the point of submitting the documentation online then? She had no answer, just stared at me. I explained AGAIN and said the DMV website states that proof of residency will be accepted in electronic form, printed ISNT required but is suggested. She stared at us again, long pause, "I need to have the physical paper to scan." I asked again, why don't they have it already if I had to pre-submit it and it was approved. Again, no answer and long stare. 4)I stared back, waiting for direction, and nothing. I asked what we do next and she said "I don't know, I need the paper." I asked if there was anywhere nearby I could print out copies and she says "I don't know." Then I asked what we do when we have them printed and she said, "Get in line agan." Clearly, NOT HELPFUL and had no intention of being helpful, she just started chatting with her coworker nearby about nothing related, NOT A QUALITY EMPLOYEE. *the ONLY good thing I have to report is that the facility was very clean and organized well.
