This is a good DMV compared with Lancaster which is much closer to me and should be compared to a welfare office it's so scary.

It feels weird to give the DMV a five star review, but Ridgecrest's DMV ain't your grandfather's DMV. I've been in probably 5 times in the last year, and each time I'm met with prompt service, reasonable solutions to my problems, and helpful tips for the future. I wouldn't say it's fun, but it's definitely not miserable.

I went into renew my drivers license. The procedures have changed, but we’re not difficult to follow. Staff was friendly and professional. I was able to complete my business in a reasonable amount of time without a lengthy wait. The staff at this location is consistently friendly and professional and pleasure to deal with.

Better than any dmv I have been too except for being told to come back up when done so we can finish our process and instead get a number to sit and wait.

Most pleasant experience I have ever had at the DMV walked in was greeted with a smile paid for my ID and was in and out and around 10 minutes! Never in my life have I had such an experience at any DMV anywhere absolutely superb

This location was able to help solve my problem in 20 minutes. I drove 1.3 hours to get her after finding Lancaster and Simi of no help whatsoever. great customer service and a very pleasant experience.

I had an appointment to take my drivers test @0820 and took my test about ten minutes later. Driving route is very easy and Natalie was my instructor. She was very nice and made the test extremely easy. I was out by 0900 and left with my license.

Big shout out to our local DMV. I went in for a CA Real ID this morning at 8, and they took care of me in 20 minutes and this is even with the extraordinary procedures they have to follow because of COVID and the fact that they are front-line workers (must be scary). I have always found them to be efficient, knowledgeable, and patient with ornery customers.

When you live in a big town, you miss out on places like this. While hard-to-find, I got in and out ON A FRIDAY for a driver's license renewal. The people were helpful and friendly,unlike typical DMVs and government employees. I like that they have advertising as well.

Best overall and most efficient DMV office yet. Went in today to apply for a "Real I.D. drivers license. Drove ~80 miles to go to the Ridgecrest branch based on the overwhelming positive feedback from many people. Have to say they were right. In and out in 1 hr on the nose. Worth every one of those 80 miles to deal with highly competent people who know what they are doing! A rarity!
