Previously I wrote a harsh review of the Whittier DMV. I failed the written test 4 times and filed a complaint. Manager Denise Daniels invited me to come to the office and she explained that I could take the test through eLearning. I passed easily and would recommend this method to all.

Just took my driving test with one of if not the best instructor at the Whittier DMV. His name was Derrick and he has such a warm and enjoyable personality. 10 out of 10 instructor and 100/10 person.

This is the only DMV I will go to. The staff is almost always nice and the wait time is fair. They have a ton of windows open all the time. Without an appointment you will wait a while. The customers are nicer at this one. So you can talk while you are waiting. Less loud people. The place was very clean. The big thing is make an appointment or it is your fault for the wait.

Employees were friendly (ish) lots of available seating. Waiting time was short. Only one of the Employees was kinda rude( an elderly woman missed her number being called,she got to the window much later and the employee was laughing loudly at this)

I just got my license. After failing twice on my drivers test I thought I was gonna fail again on my third time. But examiner Derick reassured me that everything’s gonna be okay and that I just need to focus and be on my game. Compared to everyone at the DMV he was the kindest and most supportive. I appreciate his help a lot.

Fast and easy, though difficult to hear the employee's since they are behind the glass, below eye level, and wearing masks. Maybe get some speakers like banks have. Very helpful with disabilities and giving assistance when asked.

Fantastic! Efficient, organized and FAST. Every person was lovely, knowledgeable and helpful. Total time to renew expired DL was 47 minutes. I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. Shout out to all the nice employees. Thank you!

Came at 12 on a Monday to renew my license sent to me by mail & waited in the no appointment line then the computer room then the front desk & everyone was so nice. I left at 2. However the line for people without an appointment was very long initially.

Noticed there were more representatives helping although I was there near closing and there weren't too many folks in there. Service has improved a lot.... only had a 10 minute wait.... my questions were answered in a professional manner... there were only less than 11 folks there and more staff to help. Easy access to parking.
