Small town DMV. Wait time was nothing compared to other DMV’s I have been to but there’s a man that works here that literally every time I have gone, treats me and everyone he “helps” badly. He’s very rude and impossible to get a smile from. Besides him, it’s not a bad dmv but I would have for him to be a coworker. Random storm cloud on a bright day.

An amazing experience! Had to renew my driver's license along with getting real ID (so I needed more paperwork than usual) and forgot to take my renewal slip but it was fine to not have it. I was in and out in no more than 20 minutes. Had to wait very little at noon on Monday close to the end of the month.

Taft DMV has got to be the Best I've dealt with and believe me I've dealt with several DMVs in Kern county. The staff is extremely friendly and your in and out. It's been the most painless DMV experience in my life.

I had, what I thought was an extremely complicated mess with a used vehicle purchase. Paso Robles DMV said they couldn't help me and figuratively pushed me out the door! The kind and helpful ladies at Taft DMV made it smooth and easy. Thank you!!!

Crystal and the folks at Taft DMV were helpful, patient and kind with us today. Not everyone is these days. We had a few tough problems and without Crystal's help, would have been still been trying to get it figured out. Much gratitude, Jim and Ben.... ps, everyone there was terrific

Awesome DMV! Driving back from LA to Sacramento, we decided to stop by this dmv location to get our RealIDs. We were in and out in 10 minutes - for two IDs. Super-friendly and very efficient staff.

If I cannot make it to a AAA location, then I prefer going to this DMV branch in Taft. This branch is pretty small as is to be expected for a small town. After parking in their lot or street parking, just go inside. Make sure to take a number or they will not help you. There is usually two or three people to assist folks. Afternoons tend to be less busy than the mornings from what I've noticed or maybe I have just been lucky. I've never spent more than 15 minutes waiting for my turn though. Unlike the previous reviewer (from my visits here), they do know what they are doing. They do a good job too.
