Santa Ana DMV at 3pm. As busy as it gets. As long as you accept that you will be here for a while and stay in a good mood, it's not too bad. It's a good place to watch people.

The staff at Santa Ana are the best. They are helpful, kind and knowledgeable. The woman working at the entrance is so nice and caring. She has a tough job keeping throngs of people moving and not jamming the walkway. We definitely need another DMV to service this area.

Very helpful staff who were all very polite. I spoke with 3 different employees and each was knowledgeable and made my experience easy. I did not have an appointment and had to wait about 30 minutes in a Friday afternoon.

I love Santa Ana DMV! All the staff members are very friendly and helpful. The line also moves really fast because the operations is efficient. I'd say you won't be waiting longer than 45 minutes on a weekday. I will be coming to this location moving forward.

Great service. Make appt and go, it's a breeze if u have one. Only thing the lady at the photo booth was extremely serious and could do with a smile and a better tone while talking. She was very curt and like a robot.

Everybody says it's best if you make an appointment. Appointments are at least two to three weeks out. I had already uploaded my real ID documents and had everything I needed with me, and I was in and out in less than an hour with no appointment.

Didn't have an appointment to renew my license. They were very efficient. I was out in about an hour. Very clean. There was a line when I arrived. They let in a few people at a time even though it was 20 min before opening time. I was very impressed with the efficiency, professionalism and friendliness of the staff...

Noone likes going to the DMV. . I was pleasantly surprised of how organized and how well they handled everything with COVID safety. Great job ! Thank you for not making this a more painful experience than it needs to be.

Wait wasn't long on a Friday morning. I had an appointment so that helped. The young lady who helped me in the beginning was very nice and friendly. The gentleman who helped me, once my number was called, was quick and straight forward. No need for small chit chat, just gave him the papers, signed a few things, paid, took a picture and off I go.
