Pretty satisfied with the service. Went on a Tuesday at ~8 a.m. Was in and out within one hour. The person that helped us was polite and efficient (not sure that's true for all staff…but you might get lucky!). Would recommend.

This is probably one of the better DMVs in the Bay Area. Got here right before 8am opening and had about 12 people waiting. The line went by fast and I only spent a 15 minutes total there. The staff were surprisingly nice and everything went smooth. Just make sure you have all the documents and forms you need to avoid any issues and delays.

After reading the reviews before coming I was prepared for a horror show. But I was done in an hour. The employees I dealt with were nice and it wasn’t chaos at all. Nobody wants to go to the dmv but make an appt and come prepared with all necessary docs. Good luck! I’m happy I’m getting my real id

Overall a good experience. Despite my appt, I still had to wait 30 minutes to be seen. The employees were pleasant and helpful. Convenient location.

Confusing with just entering. Signage is awful for customers with appointments. The agent working the non appointment line appeared to be confused and unprepared. Long.li3bfor photos. Should have been better staffed.

Had to go to the DMV to finalize some paperwork. I had the pleasure of working with Christian! Christian was great to work with and very knowledgeable! Thank you for making my trip to the DMV very easy as we all know how much of a pain going to the DMV can be.

This was my first time visiting the DMV location and it was a smooth and flawless experience. The employees were super nice and there was no wait time. If you need to go to the DMV please visit this location instead of SF or Daly City!

Overall this was a very positive experience. I arrived 20 minutes before they opened and left after less than two hours--not bad for no appointment! Their operation seemed to run smoothly and the staff was pretty friendly considering they deal with a lot of anxious people not wanting to be there. I'd recommend an appointment, however if you don't have one I'd say you'll be fine. Come knowing it may take a few hours so bring snacks and a good book.

Had the best experience dealing with DMV here. I have been to the DMV in different cities. This one had shorter line and staff are more friendly to me. They are also fast! which is very rare for people working in DMVs. Will come here again if I need to. Good job!
